ASHBURN, Va. -- The Washington Redskins celebrated the end of the offseason program, acknowledging one important fact: Nobody suffered a serious injury. But they do have a handful of players recovering from various injuries, some of which sidelined them for long stretches. And one injury remains cause for great concern.
Here’s a look at the Redskins’ injury list:
Safety Kyshoen Jarrett (arm): There is definite concern over his future considering all he’s done this offseason is visit specialists to determine the extent of nerve damage in his arm – and if he’ll be able to play again. The Redskins want to exhaust all options with Jarrett, who attended practice Wednesday. Jarrett had an excellent rookie season as a backup safety/nickel corner/special-teamer. He injured his arm in the regular-season finale at Dallas.
"We'll address that later on," Gruden said of Jarrett's status. "I want to make sure we know exactly what we're talking about before we talk about his injury.
"We're just going to let it play out and then make a decision on what to do next."
Linebacker Junior Galette (Achilles): Gruden expects him to be ready at the start of training camp.
Linebacker Perry Riley (foot): He missed the spring workouts because of his foot, which he re-injured earlier this offseason. But Riley is expected to be ready for training camp.
End Stephen Paea: He missed practice this week for personal reasons, but there aren’t any health-related issues, so he’ll be fine for training camp.
Receiver Josh Doctson (foot): He missed practice to get a tooth pulled. Doctson was unable to participate in the organized team activities or the minicamp, but the Redskins have said they’re just being precautionary. So the expectation is that he’ll be fine for training camp.
Tight end Jordan Reed (ankle): He did not participate in the minicamp because of an ankle injury, but he’s been walking around fine and even ran a route in a red-zone drill (against no defense). He’ll be fine.
Tight end Derek Carrier (knee): At one point, it appeared Carrier might not return until late in the 2016 season after tearing multiple ligaments in December. But now there’s a strong belief in the organization that he’ll return in the first half of the season. The Redskins have better depth at tight end than they did last season, so there’s not a pressing need for Carrier to return quickly. But he’s certainly another option they’re expecting to have available.
Guard Shawn Lauvao (foot): Gruden did not say if he’d be available or not, but he’s likely a wait-and-see as far as when he’ll be ready -- whether in time for camp or a little later.
Running back Keith Marshall (hamstring): The coaches liked how he looked before he hurt his hamstring. He’ll enter camp as the No. 3 back behind starter Matt Jones and backup Chris Thompson.
