Jason Taylor to start for 'Skins

Here are the inactives for tonight's season opener between the Giants and Redskins. Washington defensive end Jason Taylor, considered a game-time decision with a sprained knee, will start and make his regular-season debut as a Redskin. Normal left cornerback Shawn Springs, however, is out with an injured calf. Veteran Fred Smoot is starting in his place.

For the Giants, kicker Lawrence Tynes is still recovering from preseason knee surgery and will not play. John Carney, 44 years young, was signed by Big Blue earlier in the week and will assume those duties.

Here are the rest:

Giants: RB Reuben Droughns, CB Terrell Thomas (hamstring), CB Sam Madison (sports hernia surgery), LB Jonathan Goff (back), OT Adam Koets, DE Dave Tollefson, WR Mario Manningham

Redskins: Colt Brennan (3rd QB), WR Malcolm Kelly (knee), S Kareem Moore (hamstring), OG Chad Rinehart, TE Fred Davis, DE Rob Jackson
