All things Redskins training camp

Keim is saying from a team source...DeSean (shoulder) likely out a couple weeks. DHall (groin) out a week. DeSean hit a blocking dummy wierd with his shoulder? damn

updated:

DeSean Jackson has been diagnosed with a separated shoulder, and will be sidelined "a few weeks."

Per ESPN's Dianna Marie Russini, D-Jax is dealing with a Grade 2 separation. FOX Sports reports Jackson was injured by a blocking sled. The injury leaves him highly questionable for the preseason, but his Week 1 isn't in doubt from

Mr. Unstopable got whacked by a tackling dummy. He'll be fine by the beginning of the season.

Russell is always over negative on everything. Even when he likes a guy. He will bash something else in the same sentence. Aka coaches

RG10 was 5-11 today.

Note.. He only threw from the pocket and no play action. Guess they were gaging his progress on pocket effectiveness

I'd be grateful if someone with insight as to how all this works could explain why we waived Mitchel. The reports coming out of camp were positive; I know he's out for the year, but wasn't there some way to save him and just designate him on IR? Colts sure pounced.

That sucks. The Redskins should have just waited and have him count on their 90 man roster.

Until someone has 4 years in the league, they cant be placed directly on IR without passing through waivers until the first cut down date. So to be able to use the roster spot, the waived him with an injury designation. If he had cleared waivers, they have the option to put him on IR or give him an injury settlement. He would have been put on IR since he is gone for the year and the injury settlement is he gets paid for what he is expected to miss. So the injury settlement would have been the same as putting him on IR for salary purposes, both one years pay.

So the options were leave him occupying a roster spot til the first cut or waive him. With Amerson and Breeland out, I am assuming they figured they needed someone who can practice with the team, so they tried to get him through waivers.

Many, many thanks for the detailed explanation. Very helpful. Too bad we lost out on him. Does this mean that the Colts don't waste a roster spot on him in the same way that we would have? In other words, by claiming him off waivers, do they have more flexibility in terms of how they designate him going forward?

When you claim someone off waivers, he immediately takes a roster spot, which is why the Colts cut someone. They have the same options we did, hold onto him until first cuts with him taking up one of the 90 roster spots, then put him on IR (which will free up his roster spot at that time), or try and get him through waivers to put him on IR now. I really cant see them putting him through waivers now, otherwise they probably wouldnt have claimed him. It looks like the Colts are holding onto him for next year and beyond.
