Beck Will Start As QB For 'Skins

ASHBURN, Va. - The Redskins play the Colts Friday night, with John Benck starting as quarterback in the Redskins' second preseason game.
 
Beck's start reaffirms that Beck and Rex Grossman remain on equal football in the battle for the starting job, despite the groin injury that kept Beck out of the first game.
 
Beck slightly strained his groin while stepping up to avoid a defender during a practice on Aug. 7. The injury limited his ability to roll out and bootleg, so he was kept out of 11-on-11 team drills last week and sat out the 16-7 victory over Pittsburgh. Grossman got the start and made quite a statement - completing 19 of 26 passes for 207 yards and one touchdown in one half.
 
Now Beck gets his turn Friday night against the Indianapolis Colts.
