Callahan says Redskins have moved on rapidly towards the Vikings due to the short week. Says no pads for practice tomorrow but team will still operate with speed. Not walk through pace.

Callahan to the podium. Mentioned the team has backed up its flight to Minnesota so the team can “get a little more activity” in during Wednesday’s practice instead of just a normal walkthrough the day prior to a game.

He says they’ll practice tomorrow without pads. It’ll be a pretty full length practice. They want to move. They don’t wanna overwork them, but they need to do more than walk thru before the Vikings.

Bill Callahan: We’ve got a lot of respect for Kirk and expect to get his best

Callahan to the podium in Ashburn. He says they already took a look at Minnesota on a short week.

He says yesterday’s game is hard to take a lot out of. Agreed with it being called an outlier in terms of studying it/playcalling and all that.

Asked about Alex Smith, Callahan said the Redskins QB has provided the coaching staff with some insight during his rehab time. “I’ve never seen anything like the effort to his rehab that he’s pouring in.”

Bill Callahan on Alex Smith: “He can give us as a staff insight. ... He’s work diligently. ... I’ve never seen anything like it ... the effort he’s pouring into his rehab.”

Smith is starting to throw with coaches and has done so in recent weeks

Callahan on Derrius Guice - “I think he’s getting closer.” Coach said hopefully sooner than later. Earliest he could be back is Week 11 vs Jets

Callahan says Josh Norman wouldn’t have been able to play even in good conditions last week. Will see about this week. #redskins

Landon Collins on Kirk Cousins - You never know what QB you’re going to get but right now they’re getting Pro Bowl Kirk Cousins.

Alex Smith appears to be throwing on a far field today at Redskins facility. He’s not moving too much but throwing beautiful spirals.

Montae Nicholson in a walking boot on his right foot/ankle. #redskins Landon Collins talked about having to speed up the communication with Troy Apke this week if Montae can’t go.

Landon Collins talking now in Redskins locker room. Says there shouldn’t be much drop off if Montae Nicholson misses time but he will need to work on disguising coverage with Troy Apke

Walking to open locker room, @BenStandig and I saw Derrius Guice (meniscus) going through running drills. Ran the whole field, did some dynamic exercises. Last week, Bill Callahan said it was possible he might return to practice this week, though that wasn’t definitive.
