Brandon Meriweather, Aldrick Robinson Collision: 2 Redskins Declared Inactive Before Game (VIDEO)

2 Redskins Collide Before Game

Safety Brandon Meriweather was set return from a knee injury suffered in the preseason and play in his first game with the Washington Redskins on Sunday in Tampa Bay. But it looks like his first action in 2012 will have to wait a little longer after a pre-game collision with a teammate.

In the video above, Meriweather is shown running down a pass thrown into the end zone two hours before kickoff.a\ Aldrick Robinson was standing in the end zone without a helmet, completely unaware of Meriweather running towards him. Unfortunately, Meriweather was unaware of Robinson's presence as well and collided with him.

Robinson appeared to be knocked out and according to the Washington Times, he laid on the ground for several minutes while trainers attended to him before walking slowly off the field. Meriweather looked to be writing in pain and grabbing the knee that has kept him out the first three weeks.

Robinson gave his Twitter followers an update later on Sunday.
