Rivera said he saw a lot of growth in Haskins... Asked when he'll be ready to officially name him his starter he said: Sept. 13. That, of course, is the day of the opener... (Note: He's taken all the reps with the 1s)

Looks like a Cover 2 Read from the base 4-3. MIKE drops high hole, OLB's drop hook/curl(one carries the TE), RCB is in a squat tech Cover 2, while LCB is inside tech reading #2(which is TE to his side).

All these people saying The Washington Football Team should pounce on Reilly Reiff when he’s released need to understand something...
— Mark Tyler(Hogs Haven) (@Tiller56) August 31, 2020
He’s a free agent as soon as this happens and he has to WANT to sign here. He’ll also want a decent payday.
I'm still not expecting a lot of volume, but 100 more pass attempts than they had last year is definitely in the range of outcomes.

Eight snaps for Alex Smith during 11-on-11 work by my count. Most he's had during camp. Remember this is a light day, though. Players aren't in full pads. Still predicting he makes the 53, then goes to IR the next day.
— michael phillips (@michaelpRTD) August 31, 2020
If you practice with the team at any point during camp, you're not eligible to skip the 53 and go straight to PUP. Applies to Alex Smith, Reuben Foster, Saahdiq Charles and Bryce Love. All must be on the 53 to be protected. https://t.co/bSfSx2qylE

If the point of care test is positive, it’s treated as a new confirmed positive case, subject to additional protocols. If the rerun is positive but point of care test is negative, then the person still stays away until at least the next day pending results of the second PCR test.
