Kick returners:

Danny Johnson and Greg Stroman will return kicks this year. Gruden says there might be room to keep both them up on game day. Upping the return game was a priority this off-season. Mentions Quinn as a PR as well.

Josh Harvey-Clemons:

Don’t be surprised if JHC plays in nickel. Gruden says they drafted him to cover. They feel he can potentially cover Johnson and Gresham this weekend.

Adrian Peterson:

One note on Peterson play time: might be limited in some situations such as 2 minute drills until he knows the offense better. They have a package of run plays for him Gruden says they “feel really good about.”

Rob Kelley:

It sounds like Rob Kelley will be active on Sunday. Gruden said Kelley will have a role on the offense as the season goes on. Just need to see how it develops

Team captains:

Jay Gruden said the #Redskins will elect captains tomorrow. The plan is to pick four, and rotate one on a weekly basis.

Defensive Coordinator Greg Manusky

David Johnson:

Manusky at the podium now. He says the first key to stopping Johnson as a receiver is making sure you know whose covering him. Almost sounds like if he splits out, they might just cover him as a WR.

Anthony Lanier II:

Manusky said Anthony Lanier fizzled out at the end, which is why Brantley was signed. Interesting.
