Redskins hot topics

RICHMOND—A look at some hot topics on Day 5 around Redskins training camp.

—The Redskins added a few more names to the injury list with Su’a Cravens sustaining a strained hamstring, Spencer Long suffering from an illness and heat-related problems for Morgan Moses. The biggest news was Jordan Reed’s visit to a specialist in Charlotte to look at his toe. The team said it was a scheduled visit and it would be a mistake to read too much into it. We’ll just have to wait and see how long it takes for him to get off of PUP and back to practice.

—There are two parts to recovering from an injury. There is getting the injury itself healed, making whatever body tissue was damaged whole again. And then there is the mental part, which is the process of regaining the confidence that the formerly damaged body part will function as it did before.

Last year, CB Kendall Fuller’s knee, injured the previous year while he was at Virginia Tech, was fully healed. But he had not regained the confidence in the knee. The third-round pick struggled as a rookie and he looks much better in camp this year. “He just looks healthier,” said Jay Gruden when he was asked to compare Fuller’s play this year versus last. “I wouldn't say he looks healthier, he was healthy last year. He was able to play, but I think he's more confident in the injury that he's coming off of. He looks stronger, he looks faster, so it's good to see.”

—Martrell Spaight talked about why players are going to enjoy playing in Greg Manusky’s defense. “His scheme that he brought in this year, it just allows us to play to our talents,” said Spaight. “It’s a lot of terminology on our end but at the same time the majority of coaches trust us to go out there and do our jobs.” Although no players want to be specific about the changes, the main difference between Manusky’s defense and the one that Joe Barry ran is not so much the playbook but the more aggressive calls that Manusky will make.

—Our last item is a question from a fan via Twitter:

@Rich_TandlerCSN If you had to pick ONE player on defense and offense that's stood out at Skins camp, who would they be? — DMVSportzFan (@Freek4ABBW) August 1, 2017

Defensively, this is pretty easy. It’s been safety D.J. Swearinger. Not only has he been flying all over on defense but he has been leading the chatter and taking on real leadership in the secondary. Second pick, Junior Galette. Offensively, I’m going to go with Terrelle Pryor. He has impressed with his ability to get open and with his catch radius. His one-handed fade pattern catch in the end zone yesterday broke a tie with Josh Doctson. I will say that positions like safety and wide receiver have an advantage in a question like this because what they do is so visible. It would be hard for, say, a lineman to distinguish himself at this point.
