Gruden to the podium. He confirms the team has released veteran DB Orlando Scandrick. They’ve seen enough from the young guys to feel confident with who they have, especially Moreau at nickel. They need to get him reps, hence releasing Scandrick now.
— Craig Hoffman (@CraigHoffman) August 14, 2018According to Jay Gruden, the former Cowboy was let go because the team likes what the've seen from their younger cornerbacks.
Jay says this had nothing to do with Scandrick’s play. They want to give him ample time to find a new team, but this has to do with the guys they drafted (Stroman, Alexander) and the emergence of UDFA Danny Johnson.
— Craig Hoffman (@CraigHoffman) August 14, 2018On the practice fields, several players who missed yesterday are back in action today.
Doctson is back. So is Swearinger. Veteran’s days for Trent Williams and Jamison Crowder. Don’t see Reed in the TE group, so probably a vet day for him. Harvey-Clemons still out.
— Craig Hoffman (@CraigHoffman) August 14, 2018Drama alert! D.J. Swearinger and Terrelle Pryor exchanged words after Montae Nicholson broke up a pass intended for Pryor.
Montae Nicholson broke up the last rep of one on ones to Pryor and DJ Swearinger let him know about it. And kept letting him know. And kept letting him know. And kept letting him know! (via @TIAWOMC) pic.twitter.com/B7nUbZAhic
— Craig Hoffman (@CraigHoffman) August 14, 2018Swearinger even got Pryor to flinch with a fake punch!
Danny Johnson is out today. Not sure why. In uniform and a bucket hat but no pads on the side.
— Craig Hoffman (@CraigHoffman) August 14, 2018Another minor scuffle between the Redskins defense and Jets offense, this one involving Anthony Lanier.
Today’s feistiness update: all on the skins d vs Jets o. Another big scrum. No punches. A few players held back Lanier behind the ‘gathering’. All well now

Gruden to the podium: "It's unfortunate. We got a lot of good work in and it's unfortunate that gets overshadowed by the fights."
— Craig Hoffman (@CraigHoffman) August 13, 2018Redskins coach Jay Gruden said he would consider fining or suspending players for fighting if necessary. He doesn't want a situation like Sunday to occur in a game. He called the incident "unfortunate".https://t.co/uE9e5BEaBj
— John Keim (@john_keim) August 13, 2018Gruden also gave some updates on injured players.

— Craig Hoffman (@CraigHoffman) August 13, 2018Speaking of injuries, the Redskins officially placed Robert Davis on IR this morning.
Robert Davis has been put on IR. New WR takes his place in the room. https://t.co/xDsOpm5jUA
— Craig Hoffman (@CraigHoffman) August 13, 2018In addition to Gruden, NFL officials talked to reporters before practice about some of the rule changes for this season.
Point of emphasis this year involves cracking down on illegal contact on DB's. Referee Carl Cheffers is here in Richmond. He says that DB's making a clear play on the ball will be rewarded.Aka, if you're a DB, look back. Find the ball. Coaches need to teach that.
— Craig Hoffman (@CraigHoffman) August 13, 2018No brawls as of yet today, but both teams are making some highlights on the field.

— John Keim (@john_keim) August 13, 2018A taste of one on ones on the #Redskins defensive field. Dunbar with tight coverage on Robby Anderson, who made a tough catch. pic.twitter.com/7P1VSku1tw
— Craig Hoffman (@CraigHoffman) August 13, 2018Several key players are not at practice today, including Josh Doctson and D.J. Swearinger.
Some of the #Redskins sitting out today: Doctson, Swearinger, Scandrick and Phil Taylor. They join the known guys like JHC, Adonis Alexander and Nsekhe.
— Craig Hoffman (@CraigHoffman) August 13, 2018Jets and Redskins have exchanged some pushes and shoves this morning, but they're nothing compared to the brawl on Sunday.
First pushing & shoving of morning between #Redskins & #Jets ..Nothing major...for now. Trent Williams was not involved.
— Chris Russell (@Russellmania621) August 13, 2018One of the #Jets OL pushed a #Redskins LB or DB but everyone made sure it didn’t escalate. After everybody split, Ziggy Hood shouted “I’m in your weight class! Pick on me!!”
— Craig Hoffman (@CraigHoffman) August 13, 2018Much like last year, Terrelle Pryor is making some great catches at Redskins training camp, but this time it's for the other team.
Pryor just made a ridiculous one handed catch back behind him in 7-on-7. He seems to quite like these Richmond fields.
— Craig Hoffman (@CraigHoffman) August 13, 2018The Redskins and Jets have begun scrimmaging in Richmond, and the Washington offense looks sharp on its first drive.
Alex Smith just had a nice take-off run to left for a nice gain, then hooked up with Samaje Perine on a big left screen (Perine showed good burst IMO) & then threw a TD pass to Vernon Davis. #Redskins #Jets
