ASHBURN, Va. | Washington Redskins free safety Kareem Moore had arthroscopic surgery Monday on his sprained right knee and is expected to be sidelined four to six weeks, ruling him out of the start of the regular season. Moore was hurt in the Redskins’ preseason loss to the Baltimore Ravens on Saturday night. He went down without contact when the Ravens ran a fake punt. Moore had been one of the pleasant surprises of training camp, moving into a starting role after two seasons as a backup. Reed Doughty will take Moore’s spot in Friday’s game against the New York Jets, and Chris Horton will also compete for the starting job while Moore is out. The Redskins also signed veteran safety Tyrone Carter, but he will initially work as a strong safety behind LaRon Landry. Donovan McNabb, who was limping badly in the locker room after Saturday’s game, wore a protective wrap on his left ankle Monday and did not practice. Coach Mike Shanahan said he wasn’t sure when McNabb will resume practice or whether the quarterback will play against the Jets. “We’ll just get as much treatment as we can and get him as ready as quick as we can,” Shanahan said. Fullback Mike Sellers, who suffered what he called a minor sprain to his left knee against the Ravens, also did not practice. With Sellers sidelined, the team signed veteran fullback Carey Davis. Receiver Malcolm Kelly remained unable to practice because of a hamstring injury that has bothered him since the start of starting camp. Rookie left tackle Trent Williams, who bruised his elbow in Saturday’s game, took part in the practice.
