Maybe it's because he hasn't forgotten not playing in a single game as a Baltimore rookie in 2001 after starting 48 games during his four seasons at Wisconsin. Maybe it's because he's an offensive lineman and the leader of Washington's line. Or maybe he's just naturally tough. Whatever the reason, Redskins center Casey Rabach was on the field for practice today, just three days after tearing the meniscus in his right knee in a 19-16 overtime victory at Tennessee."If I can play, I'm going to play," said Rabach, who left the Titans' game during the first half and was replaced by Will Montgomery. "That's what I plan to do on Sunday (against visiting Minnesota). As far as (I'm concerned), I'm ready to play. I never want to let my teammates down. As far as taking pride in it, I don't think too much about it other than it's my job to be out there to play football. That's what I love to do and I'm going to do it if I can."
Since becoming a full-time starter with the Ravens in 2004, Rabach has missed just one game. That was in 2007, his third year with the Redskins, when he sat out against Arizona with a groin injury. The previous year, he played with a broken hand. He has also refused to come out of the lineup despite a torn labrum.
