ASHBURN, Va. -- Donte Stallworth was cut Monday by the Washington Redskins, thwarting the veteran receivers comeback. Stallworth was hindered through most of training camp by a hamstring injury. He caught two passes for 33 yards in preseason games. "You could see with the setback with his hamstring, he just wasnt ready," coach Mike Shanahan said. The 32-year-old player signed with the Redskins in June, three months after he was seriously burned in a hot air balloon accident in Florida. He faced a tough challenge making a roster that already includes Pierre Garcon, Joshua Morgan, Santana Moss and Leonard Hankerson. Stallworth has played for six teams over 10 NFL seasons. He missed the 2009 season when he was suspended by the NFL after pleading guilty to killing a pedestrian while driving drunk. He appeared in only one game last year with the New England Patriots before an ankle injury ended his season. "I thought in his best interest, since I knew he wasnt going to be on the football team, was to tell him early," Shanahan said. "Give him a chance, possibly, to get with another football team." The Redskins also waived linebacker Ricky Elmore, fullback Eric Kettani, kicker John Potter, receiver Chip Reeves and linebacker Quan Sturdivant. Cornerback and punt returner Richard Crawford, who damaged three ligaments in his left knee in Saturdays preseason game, and linebacker Jeremy Kimbrough (right shoulder) were waived with injury designations. Shanahan said Monday that Crawford will require nine months of recovery. Rookie safety Phillip Thomas (left foot) and linebacker Keenan Robinson (left shoulder) were placed on injured reserve. The Redskins have three more cuts to announce before Tuesdays deadline to reduce the roster to 75. They are expected to be tackle Jeremy Trueblood, linebacker Roddrick Muckelroy and offensive lineman Jacolby Ashworth. None was at Mondays practice. LONDON -- England defender Kyle Walker will not face any disciplinary action after he was pictured inhaling nitrous oxide, a substance commonly known as laughing gas, on a night out during the off-season. Images published in the Sunday Mirror newspaper appeared to show the Tottenham right back sucking the gas through a balloon in a nightclub. Nitrous oxide isnt illegal but can cause long-term health damage. Walker apologized on Twitter on Sunday, saying: "Now I know the health risks, it was poor judgement on my part." The Football Association said Monday that it had spoken to Walker about the matter, which took place in June, and that "he has asssured us it will not happen again.dddddddddddd" "Inhaling nitrous oxide is not illegal, but we recognize the associated dangers," the FA said in a statement. "Kyle has accepted this mistake. He will not face any action under the England Player Code of Conduct." England coach Roy Hodgson confirmed Monday that Walker, who has played seven times for his country, will start in the World Cup qualifier against Ukraine in Kyiv on Tuesday. "He has made his apology, admitted his mistake but it was a long time ago, hed forgotten it," Hodgson said. "It would have been much worse had it happened this weekend."
