Josh Doctson in walking boot:
Gruden said that Doctson had a good hard day of training yesterday, so they wanted him to take today off and kept him in the boot.

Special teams practice day:
Gruden says special teams practice today is good recovery day for the big guys, time for team to "hone in on the fundamentals" of ST.
— Washington Redskins (@Redskins) August 3, 2016
Special teams practice will give starters a rest, and get the young guys important reps. Starters will do core work exercises.

Jamison Crowder:
Gruden says No. 1 special teams goal is better punt return chances for Crowder.

Gruden says PR Jamison Crowder is too good a return man to have such limited numbers. Need to give him better chances

UDFA Joe Kerridge:
Gruden says Michigan FB Joe Kerridge, an undrafted college free agent, "is turning some heads." He did pop some would-be tacklers yesterday

Players absent from camp:
Trent Murphy is OK, Gruden said. Had strep throat. Jerrell Powe is going to "have a procedure," will miss 7-10 days.

Powe has some heart arrhythmia issue and will have a procedure done and be out about 7-10 days, Gruden said.

Will Compton:
#Redskins coach Jay Gruden: "Don't know how good Will Compton is until you put him on the field." Spoke to his intelligence and comm. skills
— Anthony Gulizia (@AnthonyGulizia) August 3, 2016
Jay Gruden said LB Will Compton doesn't stand out physically and that he'd "probably be seventh" in drills. In games? All over the place.
