While it was expected to be a battle between rookie WRs Devin Thomas and Malcolm Kelly. It turns out Devin Thomas was carted off the field today with an hamstring injury. The Redskins said the Malcolm Kelly will practice as a starting WR with Randell El playing the slot. That was quick.

News: WR Devin Thomas, the Redskins' top draft pick, has been carted away from practice after pulling his right hamstring at training camp. Coach Jim Zorn says the team doesn't immediately know the extent of the injury. Thomas was hurt Thursday while reaching over his head to catch a pass from quarterback Jason Campbell during 11-on-11 drills. Thomas was drafted in the second round, 34th overall, and signed a $4.83 million, four-year contract last week. "After we evaluate it, we can figure out what it means for him as far as getting back out on the field," Zorn said. "We'll get it calmed down, get it iced, evaluate it and get the diagnosis. Fortunately it's just a pulled muscle and there’s no structural damage, so he'll be back soon."


Doesn't sound like it is a big deal.

Out-friggin-standing. I just took Kelly in the 13th round of the WR heavy Death League draft. I like the idea of that big body winning jump balls. He's slow as hell, so I gotta have some hope.

Cindy Boren, of the Washington Post, reports Washington Redskins rookie WR Devin Thomas (hamstring) will miss 10-14 days due to a hamstring injury suffered Thursday, July 24

Eh, he just tweaked it and they're bring cautious. Kinda concerns me about his toughness, though, that they'd have to cart him off the field for that.

One good year in college and a great combine equal a pretty big second round risk.

To me Devin Thomas looks more like a third year breakout WR.

Malcolm Kelly has also tweaked his hammy and is missing some practice now. Although his seems less serious.

Seems like the Skins need to look into the warm up/stretching exercises. Maybe check into the hydration and probably the weight programs, just to name a few things off the top.
Could be Zorn is pressing too hard? Something seems to be off.

Could have something to do with those fragile Michigan State WRs.
