    Washington Redskins receiver Pierre Garcon has an inflamed capsule underneath the second toe on his right foot, a recent MRI showed, Rich Campbell of Washington Times reports. He’ll rest it until he can tolerate the pain and run closer to full speed than he did during practice last week, coach Mike Shanahan said Monday.

    Garcon, the Redskins‘ No. 1 receiver, injured the toe early in the Redskins‘ season-opening win over New Orleans. He didn’t return until their Week 4 win over Tampa Bay. He was deactivated for Sunday’s victory against Minnesota after testing his foot during pregame warm-ups.

    “That toe is just quite sore,†Shanahan said. “You could see when he’s pushing off when he goes downfield he’s just not anywhere close to full speed. I saw it in Wednesday’s practice, and I saw it in Thursday’s practice. I talked to him, and he was trying to work through it.â€
