Redskins ILB Perry Riley (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Week 9 against the Panthers.

Riley was limited in practice this week but told the Washington Times that he expects to play Sunday. As a full-time starter, Riley has been highly-productive, recording eight or more tackles in five of his last six games. An official decision by the Redskins has yet to be made. If Riley is ruled out, Lorenzo Alexander will replace him in the starting lineup.

Redskins ILB Perry Riley has racked up 34 tackles in the last three weeks.

Riley has been impressive ever since the Redskins sent ex-starter Rocky McIntosh to the bench. The fourth-round rookie out of LSU has the look of a long-term starter at inside linebacker and should be on all IDP radars.

Perry Riley will once again start at inside linebacker in place of Rocky McIntosh Sunday.

Riley has deservedly and officially passed McIntosh on the depth chart. He had nine tackles against the Dolphins last week, including four for a loss.

Perry Riley is expected to replace Rocky McIntosh at inside linebacker Sunday.

McIntosh is getting benched for performance reasons as the Redskins continue to flail around. Riley is the Redskins' inside 'backer of the future and has some immediate IDP appeal in deeper formats. McIntosh was averaging 7.0 tackles per game on the season while playing next to London Fletcher.

CSN Washington's Rich Tandler suggests that Perry Riley could start at inside linebacker for the Redskins if Rocky McIntosh moves on.

McIntosh may be an unrestricted free agent depending on the new CBA. Still, Riley is a 2010 fourth-round pick that played just 10 snaps on defense as a rookie. It's unlikely the 'Skins would trust him as a full-time starter. If McIntosh walks, the Redskins may choose to explore the free agent market.

Redskins agreed to terms with fourth-round LB Perry Riley on a multi-year contract.

The only defensive player in this year's draft class, Riley is expected to play inside in the Redskins' new 3-4 scheme. He'll play behind Rocky McIntosh as a rookie while boosting the special teams coverage unit.

Redskins selected LSU LB Perry Riley with the No. 103 overall pick in the 2010 NFL Draft.

Riley, who goes 6'2/245, played weak-side linebacker at LSU, finishing second on the Tigers in tackles. He'll compete for playing time inside with Rocky McIntosh in Washington's new 3-4 defense, while also likely chipping in on special teams. Not a playmaker, Riley forced just one career fumble. Considering the talent left, he was a reach at the top of round four.
