Tanard Jackson - DB - Redskins

Redskins DC Jim Haslett says the team would welcome back suspended FS Tanard Jackson if he's reinstated before the season.

Jackson's suspension for multiple violations of the league's substance-abuse policy is considered "indefinite," but is subject to review on September 3 -- just under one week before Washington's opener against Philadelphia. "He’s a heck of a football player,' Haslett said of Jackson. "I don’t know where that stands with the NFL, but we’d welcome him back with open arms."

Phillip Thomas - DB - Redskins

The Redskins are using fourth-round pick Phillip Thomas at strong safety in spring practices.

DBs coach Raheem Morris expects his safeties to all be interchangeable, but for now Thomas is penciled in behind SS Brandon Meriweather and fifth-round pick Bacarri Rambo is competing with DeJon Gomes among others at free safety. Morris considers Thomas a "natural box player" and better run defender than Rambo. The Redskins also envision Thomas as a superior blitzer.

Tyler Polumbus - T - Redskins

The Washington Examiner confirms Tyler Polumbus is the favorite for the Redskins' starting right tackle job.

Polumbus is only competing with the likes of Jeremy Trueblood and Tony Pashos after starting 15 games last season. 2012 sixth-round pick Tom Compton is expected to stay on the left side for now, backing up Trent Williams.

Adam Carriker - DL - Redskins

Redskins DE Adam Carriker (quadriceps) will begin training camp on the active/PUP list.

Carriker has been unable to recover from last season's torn quad. He "hopes" to suit up for Week 1, but his status is in "significant doubt." "At this point, we’re really working on getting the range of motion back in the knee," Carriker said. "Your knee is supposed to bend at, like, 130-140 degrees. Typically right now, it doesn't get there. We got to get more motion out of it just to be able to play football, first of all, and then just to be able to live a normal life and do things of that nature."

Alfred Morris - RB - Redskins

Offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan said Alfred Morris is "as good a back as I've been around."

The theory that Morris is an unproven back so he's subject to "Shanahanigans" is unfounded. Alf more than proved himself last year by coming off the pace to win the starting job at training camp and ranking second in the NFL in yards and 12th in YPC. Evan Royster, Roy Helu, Chris Thompson and Jawan Jamison will merely battle for scraps at training camp.

John Potter - K - Redskins

Redskins signed kicker John Potter.

Potter, a seventh-round pick of the Bills last year, is known for his big leg. He'll compete for a role as a kick off specialist in Washington.
Jun 12 - 6:15 PM
Devery Henderson - WR - Redskins

Redskins signed WR Devery Henderson, formerly of the Saints.

The 'Skins added Henderson and Donte' Stallworth to the roster in an effort to add speed to their receiving corps. With neither player providing any help on special teams, it's safe to assume they're directly competing for a spot. The Redskins are suddenly crowded at wide receiver.
Jun 12 - 6:11 PM
Deangelo Peterson - TE - Redskins

Redskins waived/injured TE Deangelo Peterson.

Peterson broke his right foot in OTA practice last week and was looking at a four-to-six week recovery. The Redskins can stash him on injured reserve.
Jun 12 - 5:45 PM
Doug Worthington - DL - Redskins

Redskins waived/injured DE Doug Worthington.

Coach Mike Shanahan mentioned that Worthington had suffered a bicep injury likely requiring surgery. It's probably a tear. Worthington will clear waivers and head to year-ending injured reserve.
Jun 12 - 5:43 PM
Donte' Stallworth - WR - Redskins

Redskins signed WR Donte' Stallworth, formerly of the Patriots.

Coach Mike Shanahan had already revealed the team's plan to sign the wide receiver, so this comes as no surprise. Stallworth spent most of 2012 on the street before signing with the Patriots. He played in one game, recording a 63-yard touchdown, before injuring his ankle and landing on injured reserve. He'll compete for a situational role with the Redskins.

Doug Worthington - DL - Redskins

Redskins DE Doug Worthington suffered a biceps injury on Wednesday.

He'll undergo more tests to determine the severity of the injury, but Coach Mike Shanahan already alluded to surgery as a possibility. Worthington was brought up off the practice squad last year, and was competing for a reserve-role with the team.

Robert Griffin III - QB - Redskins

During a Q&A session with the media on Wednesday, offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan reiterated the team's intent to rely on the zone-read.

The Redskins took a lot of heat last year for using RG3 on designed runs, leaving him susceptible to big hits. Kyle Shanahan disagreed, saying the zone-read "kept Griffin safe," and the quarterback's injuries came "on broken pass plays." He added Griffin needs to know when to slide, but it sounds like RG3's running chances won't necessarily be scaled back by a big margin.

Robert Griffin III - QB - Redskins

Robert Griffin III (ACL, LCL surgery) will visit surgeon Dr. James Andrews for a checkup on his knee next week.

Griffin hopes to receive clearance to resume cutting, clearing yet another hurdle in his ahead-of-schedule recovery. "It’s a month of cutting drills, changing direction," RG3 said. "That way I can train my body to get back for that. I’ll start cutting and after that it’s just everything over and over." Griffin has progressed to performing bootlegs on the side of OTA practice.

Donte' Stallworth - WR - Redskins

Redskins coach Mike Shanahan expects to sign free agent Donte' Stallworth following this week's minicamp.

Shanny expects to sign the deep threat following his three-day tryout, barring an "an unexpected drop in play." Going on 33, Stallworth played for the Redskins in 2011, but spent most of 2012 on the street/injured reserve. He'd be far from guaranteed a spot on the 53-man roster.

Robert Griffin III - QB - Redskins

Robert Griffin III (knee) reiterated that he's "pretty confident" he'll be ready to go when the Redskins open training camp.

The Redskins will kick off camp on July 25. Griffin continues to work out with no setbacks and draw glowing reports from observers. It's fair to say he's ahead of schedule.
