The Washington Football Team canceled Thursday's scheduled practice in response to the police shooting of Jacob Blake in Wisconsin.

Washington had been scheduled to practice at FedEx Field on Thursday afternoon.

In a statement, Ron Rivera said, "Jason Wright and I worked to develop a response that has the right balance between the business of football and being truly thoughtful about the social injustice we witnessed with this latest incident in Wisconsin."

Washington will resume practice Friday and probably will make up the missed workout at FedEx on a later date.
