CANTON, Ohio - Washington's Colt Brennan threw two touchdown passes in the second half, and Matterral Richardson returned an interception 38 yards for a touchdown to rally the Redskins for a 30-16 victory against Indianapolis in Sunday's Hall of Fame Game.

The victory capped a three-day celebration in which two of the Redskins most revered players, Art Monk and Darrell Green, were inducted into the Hall of Fame along with former Kansas City cornerback and Redskins assistant coach Emmitt Thomas. The other inductees were linebacker Andre Tippett, tackle Gary Zimmerman and defensive end Fred Dean.

For new coach Jim Zorn, it gave him a victory in his debut as a head coach.

COWBOYS: Terrell Owens took it easy at Dallas training camp Sunday, getting a day off from practice along with tight end Jason Witten and linebacker Zach Thomas.

All three players were on the field, but were in shorts and only spectators for the lone workout of the day. It was the Cowboys' 10th consecutive day of practices since opening camp.

GIANTS: Receiver Plaxico Burress did some light running Sunday night for the first time since New York opened training camp at the University at Albany more than a week ago.

Burress, who has missed all 14 practices, has been bothered by a problem with his right ankle that's not related to the one he had a year ago.

Burress was examined by team doctors Sunday.

PACKERS: Announced the signing of Ryan Grant on Sunday, a day after the running back and team agreed to a four-year deal worth up to $30 million.

Grant was in uniform and pads Sunday night for the Packers' annual Family Night scrimmage, but was not expected to participate in live action.

Grant was an exclusive-rights free agent but refused to sign his tender offer from the team in hopes of working out a long-term deal. He did not report to camp earlier this week, and talks between the two sides had stalled until late in the week.

RAVENS: Running back Willis McGahee might miss Thursday's preseason opener against the Patriots because of an ailing left knee.

"Right now, we need to get the fluid out of his knee and get that thing settled down a little bit," Ravens coach John Harbaugh said Sunday.

Rookie Ray Rice could get the start in his NFL debut because of the injury.

Tight end Todd Heap also missed practice with a right calf injury, which is not believed to be serious.

Receiver Mark Clayton (shoulder) and running back Cory Ross (toe) returned to practice.
