Redskins Training Camp Thread wk 1

Is he pretty much done? :(

I would think that next offseason we'll probably take a look at him, but if he's not fully healed and showing no signs of a performance drop I think it could be the end of his time here. Roster spots are too valuable to use on a guy who's out 2 consecutive seasons, and potentially longer, due to the same injury.

No skin (no pun intended) off our back if he's on IR. That won't cost us a roster spot.

Bigger concern with IR is his salary still counts on the cap. I don't know what his hit is if we cut him vs IR, but we don't have a lot of wiggle room this season.

True but I'm talking about the 2014 season. If he's out 4-5 months I think he would be put on IR, no sense wasting a roster spot on someone who will miss the entire season. In 2014 I could easily see him as a roster casualty if he's not fully healthy and showing no ill effects from the injury.

They can keep Carriker on the PUP and by the 8 week mark, they'll get a better idea as to where he is in his rehab. If he is ahead of schedule, keep him on the PUP. On schedule, coaches call. Not on schedule, IR.

2 other notes from todays practice:

Kennan Robinson hurt his LEFT shoulder and tore his RIGHT Pec LAST Year. People had reported at first that it was his left pec/left shoulder/same side. Isn't.


And for all you Chase Minnifield fans, he reportedly has been looking very good in Training Camp, cutting, planting, running and turning on his Knee which he has had 2 ACL surgeries and a microfracture surgery on. He hasn't been wearing a knee brace and was step for step with Hankerson as some mentioned.

He'd have to go on the IR, but with a tag of "designated for return."



Even then, I'm not sure it will be allowed. I think the idea is for them to be on the IR at least 6 weeks, and with a possible return of mid season. 4-5 months pushes this to the end of the season. Personally, I just put him on IR and fill his slot. He's going to be out of football for 2 years basically, and definitely not in football shape. I think his time here is done.

NC depending on how this injury is and how long it will take for this third surgey to take you may be right. It is a shame as he really showed to be a good fit with the defense the couple of years we got him when he was healthy and I was fully expecting him to be a disruptive force last year heading into his third year with the team.

Yeah but I didn't think we had to pay the full amount if he's on IR? Or did I dream that up?

That's fantastic. I definitely have been pulling for that kid. He's my sleeper/fringe roster guy to watch.
