Redskins minicamp June 12: Notes and observations | WashingtonExaminer.com
…The Redskins signed receiver Donte Stallworth, as expected after a good two-day showing by the veteran wideout. The question is, can Stallworth make the final roster? It depends on how many receivers they keep, but the first four appear set: Pierre Garcon, Josh Morgan, Leonard Hankerson and Santana Moss. Aldrick Robinson’s speed, and the couple big plays he made last season, make him the leader at the fifth receiver spot. But Stallworth would provide insurance if one of the starters got hurt. The only drawback is that he does not play special teams. So it could be that, even if he makes the roster, he’d be inactive until a health issue arises.

Redskins minicamp: Observations from Wednesday’s practice
LeRibeus appears to be sidelined moreso because of conditioning reasons than injury at this point. LeRibeus admitted earlier this offseason he had gained quite a bit of weight. He suffered a hamstring injury. Shanahan said it led to a groin injury, and that his advice to LeRibeus was to make sure he was absolutely healthy, and in the best shape possible before returning to action. LeRibeus has done quite a bit of running during these offseason practices, but still appears to have some pounds to lose. Shanahan said, "He’s just got to get back into football shape." The coach also said, "I hope he’s full speed ahead once we get to Richmond and has a chance to compete for a starting job."

I feel blessed that he chose me to be the guy he came out to practice with and hung out with," Griffin said.

Kyle Shanahan: Read-option safe for Robert Griffin III - ESPN
"The zone-read is something I feel, in the long run, helps the quarterback," Shanahan said. "The quarterback's only going to run if there's no one there to hit him. If there is someone there to hit him, he's going to hand it off. I think the zone-read stuff is the least of where he got hit. The three injuries were pass plays. They weren't zone-read plays."

Wednesday practice report: Amerson good and bad - Rich Tandler's Real Redskins
Give David Amerson credit for tracking the ball and then making a well-timed move to pick off a Rex Grossman pass. But it was just a terrible pass by Rex, no idea what he was thinking. —The rookie makes a good play then he makes a bad one. A few plays after that Amerson lined up tight on Josh Morgan, who was split out wide left. He tried to jam the receiver but only got a small piece of him. Morgan took off on a deep crossing pattern with Amerson trailing him. Cousins hit him with a nice pass and the rookie had been burned.
