The first of four minicamp days began on Tuesday, and Head Coach Mike Shanahan updated the media on what's going on at Redskins Park. He had a lot of encouraging things to say about camp invitee Donte Stallworth, as well as his crop of young defensive backs.
#Redskins' Shanahan said Griffin will be in contact with Dr. Andrews and Dr. Casolaro until training camp, then he'll take a physical.

Shanahan: Stallworth brings a lot to the table and did "an excellent job today". He'll be evaluated again tomorrow.

#Redskins' Shanahan basically said he intends to sign Stallworth.

Shanahan said he told Stallworth he thought he made a mistake signing w New England and not returning to redskins.

Shanahan says he's concerned that 1 or 2 of the injured guys might not be ready for camp. Wouldn't specify whom. #RedskinsTalk

Rookies Amerson, Thomas and Rambo got first-team run today. Shanahan said trio learning D well and shouldn't have to think as much in camp.

Shanahan likes what he's seeing from Hankerson and says the third-year WR has ability to play all three positions, which is rare.

Asked who was wearing No. 1 in practice today, Shanahan said: "I don't know." Hahahaha.

Highlight of today's press conference: #Redskins had a punter here working out today. Mike Shanahan was asked who he was. "I don't know."
