Injury updates:
Callahan time. Tells reporters Thompson, Peterson, Norman are day-to-day with injuries. Vernon Davis "limited."
— Ben Standig (@BenStandig) October 22, 2019
I'll go out on a limb and say no Thompson, Davis for TNF.
Preparing for the Vikings:
Callahan said the #Redskins had two good days of preparation ahead of Thursday's game against the #Vikings. Said that they have a good challenge in front of them. #HTTR

Vernon Davis:
Vernon Davis continues in individual. I think that means he can’t play Thursday because they’re out of team practices, which (to my knowledge) he would need to participate in before playing.
— Craig Hoffman (@CraigHoffman) October 22, 2019
Will double check on that.
Bryce Love:
Callahan describes Bryce Love’s surgery as a clean up procedure. Just cleaning up the scar tissue. Nothing major.

Dalvin Cook:
Callahan on Vikings RB, and NFL leading rusher Dalvin Cook:
— Ryan Fowler (@FowlerRyan1) October 22, 2019
"He has it all. He's fun to watch on tape, but not fun to defend."
Says pursuit of the defense will be of utmost importance with Cook's ability to both rush inside, then bounce plays to the outside with his speed.

After about the 12th Minnesota question, Keenum says “If I keep going like I’m going then I’m going to be playing against my old team every week!”

Thursday Night Football:
Case Keenum to the podium. Says the shortened week doesn't change much. "Trust your eyes, trust your feet, let's go play."
— Ryan Fowler (@FowlerRyan1) October 22, 2019
Case Keenum to the podium in Ashburn. He says he actually likes the short week. “You don’t overthink it. You just go out and play.”
— Craig Hoffman (@CraigHoffman) October 22, 2019
He says a lot of the cut ups you might watch two or three times, you just watch once. Keeps it really simple.
Vikings defense:
Keenum on #Vikings defense: They're good. They're really good. It's all the same guys from when I was there. It's a tough place to play. #Redskins #HTTR
— Zach Selby (@DarDarBinx61) October 22, 2019
Keenum said the #Vikings defense is pretty much comprised of the same players that were there when he was there. Talked about their talent and ability to switch up schemes.
