The Redskins finished up Day 2 of OTA's today here are some tweets of note:
Kendall Fuller
Not only is rookie CB Kendall Fuller on the field, he made a sweet breakup of a pass attempt to WR Jamison Crowder. Another good sign.

David Bruton
David Bruton was takin first-team reps - at least for today - at safety with DeAngelo Hall. As we saw last summer that can change day to day
— Brian McNally (@bmcnally14) May 25, 2016
Perry Riley
ILB perry Riley in a walking boot on right foot. Same that ended his season.
— Mike Jones (@MikeJonesWaPo) May 25, 2016
Perry Riley has had a flair up e that right foot and so they put him in a boot and will have him checked by a specialist.
— Mike Jones (@MikeJonesWaPo) May 25, 2016
ILBs
Foster and Compton are first team ILBs. Riley, as mentioned earlier, has a walking boot on right foot.

Quinton Dunbar
CB Quinton Dunbar with a diving interception on sideline. Believe McCoy w/ the pass. GREAT catch. He showed promise last year. #Redskins
— Brian McNally (@bmcnally14) May 25, 2016
Dunbar just secured his second INT in team drills.
— Tarik El-Bashir (@TarikCSN) May 25, 2016
Spencer Long
Spencer Long IS taking snaps at center here. As expected. Played left guard last year. #Redskins
— Brian McNally (@bmcnally14) May 25, 2016
After getting snaps at center w second team during early walkthrough segment of practice, Spencer Long back at first team LG.
— Mike Jones (@MikeJonesWaPo) May 25, 2016
Jay Gruden says they simply want to get Spencer Long acclimated at center. Need options in case Kory Lichtensteiger is hurt.
— Brian McNally (@bmcnally14) May 25, 2016
Shawn Lauvao
Lauvao (ankle) won't practice until Richmond, but says this is the first time he's been pain-free in years.
— Tarik El-Bashir (@TarikCSN) May 25, 2016
Niles Paul
TE Niles Paul said he was "two months" ahead of schedule. Admitted he was "depressed" at times last year being hurt. Looked good today.
— Brian McNally (@bmcnally14) May 25, 2016
Niles Paul (ankle) was doing team drills. Sorta surprising. Also took some reps at full back.
— Tarik El-Bashir (@TarikCSN) May 25, 2016
Derrick Carrier
Tight end Derek Carrier progressing from torn right ACL. Running sprints with other injured players. Nothing crazy. #Redskins
— Brian McNally (@bmcnally14) May 25, 2016
Vernon Davis
Vernon Davis has a tweaked groin but Jay Gruden says the TE group & the ability to anchor the run blocking (mostly Niles & Logan) huge.
— Chris Russell (@Russellmania621) May 25, 2016
Adam Hayward
No Adam Hayward (knee), either. Don't see DeSean Jackson. There's also 90 players on the field and a bunch in street clothes
— Brian McNally (@bmcnally14) May 25, 2016
Desean Jackson
Redskins receiver DeSean Jackson is not at today's voluntary practice session. Jackson has a $500,000 workout bonus he won't collect
— John Keim (@john_keim) May 25, 2016
Jay Gruden on DeSean Jackson: "Yeah. He's been here....(long pause) popped in, had a cup of coffee."
— Brian McNally (@bmcnally14) May 25, 2016
Josh Doctson
Doctson said he's been battling a minor Achilles injury for a few days. Expects to be full-go tomorrow.
— Tarik El-Bashir (@TarikCSN) May 25, 2016
Jordan Reed
So Jordan Reed just laid out--at full speed--for a pass over his head in team drills. Don't tell him it's "just" OTAs.
— Tarik El-Bashir (@TarikCSN) May 25, 2016
Preston Smith
Preston Smith just went man coverage on a wheel route with Jordan Reed & blanketed him from LOS. Wow. #Redskins
— Chris Russell (@Russellmania621) May 25, 2016
Junior Gallette
Galette will be held out until training camp, Gruden said.
— Tarik El-Bashir (@TarikCSN) May 25, 2016
Gruden says Galette is "so anxious...a kid at Christmas" about getting back on field. "Probably could go right now" but want him at 100%.
— Washington Redskins (@Redskins) May 25, 2016
D Line
Baker, Golston and Reyes appeared to line up as first team D-line.
— Tarik El-Bashir (@TarikCSN) May 25, 2016
Matt Jones
Gruden says plan is still Jones as starter but that there could be 4 RBs dressed Sunday's. Said it could be Mack Brown, Marshall, Thompson.
— Mike Jones (@MikeJonesWaPo) May 25, 2016
Chris Thompson
Players not on the field: Junior Galette. Shawn Lauvao. Chris Thompson. All in street clothes
— Brian McNally (@bmcnally14) May 25, 2016
Kirk Cousins
Kirk Cousins to the podium. On contract talks: "I've got those 2 questions 47 times this offseason....everything has already been said."
— Brian McNally (@bmcnally14) May 25, 2016
Cousins on Jackson's absence: "DeSean will get here. He's been with us the last few weeks...and knows what's best for him."
— Brian McNally (@bmcnally14) May 25, 2016
Asked to compare his role in OTAs last year to this year: "You have permission now to take ownership. ...I enjoy being able to do that."
— Tarik El-Bashir (@TarikCSN) May 25, 2016
Cousins badly wants "sustained success" and points to how team hasn't succeeded annually since late 80s/early 90s.
— Mike Jones (@MikeJonesWaPo) May 25, 2016
Cousins says thinking about the depth of TE unit "very exciting" with Reed, Paul, Paulsen and Davis in the mix.
— Mike Jones (@MikeJonesWaPo) May 25, 2016
Cousins says DeSean Jackson was here working w teammates the last few weeks before taking some family time this week.
— Mike Jones (@MikeJonesWaPo) May 25, 2016
Cousins is a big planner. He has picked the brains of successful vets around league and retired QBs to help him map out his offseason.
— Mike Jones (@MikeJonesWaPo) May 25, 2016
Cousins says Redskins are practicing and playing with a great sense of urgency. Says he's always tried to do that but they're all hungry.
— Mike Jones (@MikeJonesWaPo) May 25, 2016
Cousins says he almost thought Josh Doctson was a TE when he first saw him in the building because of his size.
