| 1st July, 2005 - 7:35 pm |  ESPN - Redskins officials have acknowledged Friday that rookie cornerback Carlos Rogers will be limited at the outset of training camp by a right foot injury, but the team insisted its primary concern with Rogers is a bone bruise to his right ankle and not a pre-existing stress fracture to his foot.
Although the Redskins did not issue a press release, they used their Web site to report that Rogers is suffering from a first-degree ankle sprain and a bone bruise. The Redskins conceded the stress fracture, first reported Wednesday by The NFL Network, but seemed to downplay its significance.
Rogers, the ninth overall selection in the draft out of Auburn and the earlier of Washington's two first-round choices, will be in a walking boot and on crutches for two weeks. He will then wear a hard-bottom shoe for an additional two weeks and probably be unable to practice.
All players under contract are to report to training camp at Redskins Park on Friday, with the first on-field session then scheduled for Saturday afternoon. Given the prescribed treatment for Rogers, it appears doubtful that he will be cleared for full practices at the outset of his first training camp. [READ] |
