Their last day in Richmond before heading off to their preseason opener was nothing if not eventful. The Washington Redskins spent the morning in the Greater Richmond Convention Center, seeking refuge from the morning rain, which, in turn, wreaked more havoc on the fields at the Bon Secours Washington Redskins Training Center.
Twitter was abuzz with warnings (again) telling people if they were heading to watch afternoon practice to make sure they don't wear their best pair of shoes. Boots may have been a better option.
Head Coach Mike Shanahan was absent from practice today as he attended the funeral of a close friend. But present on the Leigh Street campus was Redskins owner Dan Snyder and Redskins Hall of Fame running back John Riggins.
The team released its first depth chart Monday, with Santana Moss, veteran leader of the wide receiving corps, home to some of the fiercest competition in camp, listed with the third team. But word is don't expect that to stay that way, and that Moss is in good shape to be on the field for their Monday Night Football opener against Philadelphia, who, embroiled in their own camp of scandal and injury, welcomed wide receiver Riley Cooper back to practice today after time in counseling after racial comments were heard from him at a recent concert.
The Redskins fly to Nashville on Wednesday and open preseason play Thursday night against the Tennessee Titans. The game will be broadcast locally on Fox Richmond, the new home of Redskins preseason games after several years on WRIC-TV8. They return to the practice field in RVA on Saturday for a 1pm practice. No walkthrough on Saturday morning.
