After spending all of the offseason being among those who were no-brainers to make the Washington Redskins’ 53-man roster, Todd Wade may not be such a sure bet.
The reserve tackle currently is sidelined with a sprained ankle that he suffered in the Hall of Fame game against the Colts. While he has been out, other [...]

Wade on the bubble?
James practices
Erasmus James proceeded to the next stage of his rehab as he took the practice field for the first time as a member of the Washington Redskins.
After three years of struggling with injuries and earning the label of a first-round bust—he was selected 18th overall in the 2005 draft—in Minnesota, he was traded to the [...]
McMullen vs. Mix
Even before the draft, it appeared that Billy McMullen was training camp fodder for the Washington Redskins. In four NFL seasons, the former Virginia Cavalier has caught just 45 passes. He managed just 29 in three seasons in the pass-happy Eagles offense before catching 16 last year for the Minnesota Vikings.
The Redskins signed him to [...]

Rogers on the mend
According to JLC and other sources, Carlos Rogers’ injured knee is mending well ahead of schedule and he could be ready for the start of the regular season.
The concept of Rogers lining up in September seemed farfetched last October when he tore both the ACL and MCL in his right knee in the Washington [...]
Six wide?
What was thought to be one of the higher-profile, higher stakes training camp battles may not ever happen.
After the Washington Redskins drafted receivers Devin Thomas and Malcolm Kelly in the second round, it appeared that James Thrash and Anthony Mix were headed towards a showdown for the fifth and final WR roster spot behind the [...]

The injury bug bites other teams, too
It’s getting to the point where many Washington Redskins fans are afraid to turn on Training Camp Daily on Comcast or click on JLC’s blog. They cringe at the prospect of finding out who got injured today.
The Redskins do seem to have a extraordinary number of injuries. It started on the first day of [...]
Training Camp Rapid Fire
I’ve gotten behind a bit, but since I’m not a slave to the 24-hour news cycle, here are some rapid-fire comments about some events over the past few days:
