Just when you thought it was safe to go camping...

Whenever Training Camp starts on a Thursday, there's always a little bit of confusion--simply put, is this the first or second week of camp? Technically this is still the first week of practice although this is the second week they've held workouts... I half expect to hear "third base!" in the background.


Bumps and bruises from Ashburn--
Defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth sat out Sunday and Monday workouts before returning to the field Tuesday. Cornerback Carlos Rogers, however, remains on the sidelines with a tight calf.

Meanwhile, the offensive line has been hit-- and like most disasters they come in threes.
Stephon Heyer didn't practice Tuesday with a banged up knee; although the tackle said there's nothing serious--or at least no structural damage in the knee.

Completely different story with Randy Thomas --offensive line coach Joe Bugel's concerned with his knee. Casey Rabach also sat out...the center had a calf injury that he suffered Tuesday.

Last year's rookie wide receivers are finding 2009 is just as tough to get on the field-- both Devin Thomas and Malcolm Kelly were sidelined with hamstring issues.

Today's new additions were wide receiver DJ Hackett and defensive tackle Michael Marquardt (spent 2008 with Philadelphia on their practice squad)...while releasing wideout Roydell Williams.

First preseason game--eight days (a week) from now... just don't ask if it's in the Skins second or third week of workouts.
