A little bit of Gibbs' side of this:

Asked to comment on Arrington's remarks, Gibbs told The Associated Press that he's "always erred on the side of conservative" with Arrington.

"LaVar got mad at me last year because he said I was too conservative," Gibbs told the AP. "He wanted to play."

As for Arrington's claim that the three-time Pro Bowl linebacker didn't have the support of the coaching staff, Gibbs said Arrington was upset when making those comments because of the need to have the second surgery.

"LaVar was emotional and said some things," Gibbs said. "But LaVar knows that we've been conservative with him."

Gibbs said Arrington's second surgery was needed after some setbacks during recent offseason workouts at Redskins Park. Gibbs said Arrington had some "floating bodies" removed from the knee and also had some scar tissue trimmed.

Gibbs said the doctor feels Arrington will be fine by the time the season starts in September, but that the team will be "careful and cautious" with Arrington's rehabilitation for a couple of months.

Gibbs said he and Arrington spoke on the telephone for about 45 minutes Monday evening, but that Arrington did not repeat many of the concerns the linebacker had aired publicly only a few hours earlier. He said another meeting with Arrington is scheduled for Tuesday to "go over everything from A to Z" concerning Arrington's rehabilitation.
