Redskins CB Chase Minnifield (ACL surgery) hopes to participate fully in the team’s offseason program.

Minnifield may never be able to get over his knee injuries, but he's currently expected to compete for a starting job with E.J. Biggers and Richard Crawford. With the Redskins' cornerback situation in flux, it’s possible that Minnifield could be a factor in 2013 if he can prove he's healthy. Washington will likely use at least one second-day pick on a defensive back. Mar 28 - 10:26 AM

Chase Minnifield - DB - Redskins

Redskins CB Chase Minnifield is now experiencing problems with his left knee after tearing his right ACL in last year's minicamp.

Dating back to high school, Minnifield has torn the right ACL twice and also undergone a microfracture procedure on that knee. When performing Minnifield's last ACL surgery, Dr. James Andrews used a graft from his left patellar tendon, and now Minnifield is essentially rehabbing both knees. Minnifield "hopes" to be ready for OTAs. The Skins obviously can't count on him for a 2013 role.

Chase Minnifield - DB - Redskins

Redskins coach Mike Shanahan revealed Thursday that CB Chase Minnifield suffered a torn ACL on the last day of minicamp.

It's a shame for one of this year's intriguing undrafted free agents, as Minnifield had already made a speedy recovery from microfracture surgery. He put on a ballhawking show earlier in the minicamp. Unclaimed on waivers, Minnifield will spend the 2012 season on injured reserve.

Chase Minnifield - DB - Redskins

Redskins CB Chase Minnifield suffered a setback in his surgically repaired knee late in the offseason.

We suspected as much when the Redskins announced that the once-promising undrafted rookie had been waived/injured. Minnifield recently had another "procedure" on his knee. "He's not going to be physically able to come back during the season," said Minnifield's agent. "He's going to be out a year." Considering the severity of the injury, Minnifield should clear waivers to land on injured reserve.

Chase Minnifield - DB - Redskins

Undrafted rookie CB Chase Minnifield (knee) will open training camp on the active/PUP list.

Although Minnifield underwent microfracture surgery over the winter, this still comes as a bit of surprise in that the former Virginia star shined while participating fully in June minicamp. The Redskins are building in roster flexibility with the option to leave Minnifield on reserve/PUP for the first six games. RB Tristan Davis (undisclosed) is also expected to open camp on the PUP list.

Chase Minnifield - DB - Redskins

Undrafted rookie CB Chase Minnifield (knee) was a full participant in the Redskins' mandatory June minicamp.

He's less than six months removed from microfracture surgery, so it's notable progress. After being limited in OTAs, Minnifield expects to be cleared for the start of training camp. He'll compete with Kevin Barnes, Morgan Trent, and seventh-round CB Richard Crawford, among others, for a spot on the 53-man roster.

Chase Minnifield - DB - Redskins

Redskins DC Jim Haslett revealed that the team had a third-round draft grade on CB Chase Minnifield before the Virginia star underwent microfracture knee surgery.

Although Minnifield claimed to run a 4.3 early in his Cavaliers career, he fell out of the draft after turning in a 4.7 in late March. After being limited in rookie minicamp last month, Minnifield has stood out in this week's practices. Redskins coaches are "ecstatic" that he fell in their laps after the draft.

Chase Minnifield - DB - Redskins

Redskins signed Virginia CB Chase Minnifield.

Widely viewed as an early-round prospect at the beginning of last season, Minnifield fell out of the draft entirely due to concerns about his knee following microfracture surgery. The son of former Browns star Frank Minnifield, Chase should carve out an NFL career if he can recapture pre-injury form.

Chase Minnifield - DB - Redskins

Virginia CB Chase Minnifield reportedly underwent a microfracture procedure concurrently with a knee scope after the 2011 season.

The procedure was performed on a non-weight bearing bone. Minnifield entered the season as a top-45 prospect, but he's been on a steady decline due to knee problems. Rotoworld draft guru Josh Norris doesn't expect the son of former Browns star cornerback Frank Minnifield to go off the board until Round 4 at the earliest.

Depth Charts

Skill Players
Pos	Role	Name
QB	1	Robert Griffin III Sidelined Redskins GM Bruce Allen conceded it's "too early to tell" whether Robert Griffin III (ACL, LCL surgery) will be ready on the first day of training camp. "He is doing everything that the doctors want him to do," said Allen. "... But it’s really too premature to speculate on where his medical condition is until we give him a physical when training camp starts July 25." Allen said RG3 is able to do "a lot of drill work on his own." Expect Griffin to open training camp on active/PUP. May 20
	2	Kirk Cousins
	3	Rex Grossman
	4	Pat White
RB	1	Alfred Morris
	2	Evan Royster
	3	Roy Helu Sidelined CSN Washington believes Roy Helu and No. 154 pick RB Chris Thompson are competing for the same roster spot. The same is true of Evan Royster and No. 228 pick Jawan Jamison. Thompson and Helu are both change-of-pace type runners, while Royster and Jamison rely more on vision and power. Jamison is the longest shot of the four, but Helu's roster spot will very much be in danger if he doesn't report to camp 100 percent healthy and stay 100 percent healthy. May 19
	4	Chris Thompson Sidelined Redskins agreed to terms with No. 154 overall pick RB Chris Thompson on a four-year contract. Recovering from an October ACL tear, Thompson is questionable for the beginning of training camp. Thompson is a thimble of a football player at 5-foot-7, 192 pounds, but coach Mike Shanahan believes he would have been a first- or second-round pick if not for his injury. That's because of his electric speed. Thompson could eventually make noise as a scat/third-down back, but will most likely be "redshirted" this season. May 15
	5	Jawan Jamison
GLB	1	Alfred Morris
	2	Evan Royster
3RB	1	Alfred Morris
	2	Evan Royster
FB	1	Darrel Young
	2	Dorson Boyce I.L. Redskins FB Dorson Boyce (shoulder) could be cleared for contact this week. Boyce tore his labrum in the preseason finale last year. The 24-year-old rushed ten times for 44 yards in exhibition action last season. He could compete for a special teams role or a spot on the practice squad. Apr 20
	3	Eric Kettani
WR1	1	Pierre Garcon Sidelined Pierre Garcon (foot) isn't sure if he'll be 100 percent healthy for 2013. "I’ll be healthy enough to play," Garcon said Thursday on NFL Network. "I can’t say I’ll be 100 percent, but I’ll be back out there helping the team in any way possible." Garcon isn't sure if he'll go full steam during OTAs. Garcon played through the injury in 2012, but it's a concern he's already resigned to the possibility of playing at less than 100 percent for the second consecutive season. Garcon could eventually require surgery, but has thus far avoided it because there's no guarantee it will correct the issue. Apr 12
	2	Santana Moss
	3	Aldrick Robinson
	4	Skye Dawson
	5	Chip Reeves
WR2	1	Josh Morgan Sidelined Josh Morgan had ligaments in each of his hands repaired after the season. Tack this issue on top of ongoing concerns surrounding Morgan's right leg issues. After appearing to lack burst last season, he had surgery to remove a plate and seven screws from his right ankle in January. Morgan may not be ready for OTAs. Feb 27
	2	Leonard Hankerson
	3	Dezmon Briscoe
	4	Nick Williams
	5	Lance Lewis
WR3	1	Santana Moss
TE	1	Fred Davis Sidelined Speaking in a Wednesday presser, Redskins coach Mike Shanahan said Fred Davis (Achilles) has made "strides," but the team won't know how far he's progressed before OTAs. Davis is six months removed from the Achilles' tear, and expects to be fully cleared by June. Despite Davis' bullish outlook, he's a strong candidate to begin camp on active/PUP, with a stint on reserve/PUP possible to begin the year. Apr 24
	2	Logan Paulsen
	3	Jordan Reed Sidelined Redskins third-round TE Jordan Reed did not participate in rookie minicamp due to a bone bruise in his knee and a pulled quad. Reed, the 85th pick in the draft, pulled a quad, which resulted in knee soreness. The Redskins are "hopeful" he'll be able to get back to action in a "couple weeks." Washington starts OTAs on May 20, and Reed should be on the field. May 5
	4	Niles Paul
	5	Deangelo Peterson
K	1	Kai Forbath
