Redskins wide receiver DeSean Jackson remained sidelined with a strained hamstring during the Redskins’ second week of offseason practices, but said he possibly could return to action next week.

Jackson, who injured his hamstring on a deep route in last Thursday’s practice, ran a couple of half-speed routes during positional drills, but wore only a sun visor with his jersey, and watched the remainder of practice.

Asked when he expected to return to action, Jackson said, “I don’t know. Maybe next week. We’ll see how it feels. It’s going pretty good, so we’ll see how it feels next week.”

Said coach Jay Gruden, “DeSean has a minor tweak, i guess. All hamstrings are different, but he’s rehabbing with [athletic trainer] Larry [Hess] and hopefully he’ll be ready to go next week for the final week of the OTAs.”

With Jackson sidelined, fellow wide receiver Andre Roberts joined Pierre Garcon in the starting lineup. Santana Moss replaced Roberts as the primary slot receiver during first-team drills on Wednesday.
