Barring injuries there’s zero chance Sims is starting by week 6

IF he even makes the team.

Doctson, Richardson, Crowder, Harris and Quinn have all got a better shot IMO, with the first 3 being locks.

He's definitely in contention for the 6th spot but lets see if he even makes the 53 or gameday 46.

Agreed but IMO with Robert Davis on IR he's definitely the first contender for that 6th spot, don't think neither Brian Quick nor Cobbs JR have shown anything to be preferred to Sims.

I agree. I was way more excited for R. Davis this year than I am for Sims, but with him heading to IR that 6th spot looks like it would go to Sims. B. Quick has the experience, I just haven't seen/heard anything about him this camp.

Re: Training Camp 2018

I think Simms makes the 53 - there are enough teams out there with WR issues that would love all his really good qualities to grab him off waivers if we tried to stash him on the PS. My bet is that they go with youth over experience and cut Quick.

I suspect, however, that, barring injury, he would not dress for the game day 45.

This. I don't think Sims will get to play much this year although, I won't be surprised if Gruden has red zone plays specifically for him. I would expect to see more of him next year or so. It usually takes about 3 years for WR to develop, or at least that's what people say.

Really don't think it changes a lot, he'll make the team IMO... Especially with Quick being out too.

He probably has an injured phantom. His phantom injury will get him placed on IR where he can be developed.

Re: Training Camp 2018

Redskins sign QB Connor Jessop....they probably do not want one of their top 2 or 3 QBs killed when the #2 and #3 OL play on Thursday

Re: Training Camp 2018

By resting starters, Gruden emphasizes health going into Week 1

Re: Training Camp 2018

Cant go wrong here, I'd rather get our ass kicked in a scrimmage than lose starters for week 1

Agreed... but I sure hope Alex Smith is on synch with his receiving corps on September 9th. Because if he's not, the wooping 12 snaps he played in preseason will seem like too few...

Would he be better prepared with 20 more snaps? 30 more? Kirk took over 80 last preseason and we still lost in week 1.

All in all I don't think it matters much. They get in plenty of more meaningful work in practice. During the middle of a season nobody is reflecting back on August saying damn, if we only had 10 more preseason snaps we'd be so much better right now.

Alex is is a new QB with new WRs, he needs more game time practice.
