The Daily Twitter will be posted at the beginning of every day (at midnight in Washington, DC). The goal is to give readers a handy spot to check the Redskins beat writers & bloggers, and national sports journalists to keep up on the latest news about the Redskins, the NFL, and sports in general, along with a smattering of other things.

Reuben Foster down. Just carted off. Was in tears. Looked at by trainers. Left leg. Bruce Allen And Jay Gruden over with them
— John Keim (@john_keim) May 20, 2019
Washington loved Foster’s energy and everything he can bring to a team. Now, he’s almost certainly out for 2019. Potential still yet to be realized. https://t.co/cCFwzBuEZz

First day of OTA's, third play in a Redskins uniform...LB Reuben Foster goes down with what appears to be a significant knee injury.
He was carted off the field. More tonight on @ABC7News.@KgriggsPhoto @AdamSchefter pic.twitter.com/2yUZ0l4a8Y

It can happen anywhere; at least Foster will have the protection of his salary. If OBJ suffers a freak injury and can't play this year, the Browns can choose not to pay him.

If #Redskins Foster is done for ‘19, then he’ll still earn his 1.29M salary (contract will not toll, for those asking). Following ‘20 draft, Skins have to decide whether to exercise ‘21 5th yr Option, which is guar’d for Inj only initially. Don’t see them exercising at this point

— Tarik El-Bashir (@Tarik_ElBashir) May 20, 2019
Notables absent from #Redskins OTA’s, which are voluntary:
— Craig Hoffman (@CraigHoffman) May 20, 2019
Trent Williams
Josh Norman
Adrian Peterson
Colt McCoy
Jordan Reed
Monte Nicholson
First QB snap goes to Keenum. Second to Haskins.
Scherff is in some drills. Great sign coming off the torn pec that ended his 2018 season.
— Craig Hoffman (@CraigHoffman) May 20, 2019
Don’t see Daron Payne here.
— Matthew Paras (@Matthew_Paras) May 20, 2019
Gruden said they are waiting to see if the NFL takes any action on Montae Nicholson. But his absence today was Nicholson’s choice. #redskins
— Kareem Copeland (@kareemcopeland) May 20, 2019
Gruden says they haven’t heard from the league on Monte Nicholson. He expects Nicholson to be a part of the team.
— Craig Hoffman (@CraigHoffman) May 20, 2019
Montez Sweat coming around the edge is going to get many a QB out of there. His speed is phenomenal. #Redskins
— Lake Lewis Jr (@LakeLewis) May 20, 2019
Just a moment ago...Dwayne Haskins on an RPO fired a strike in stride to Brian Quick up the seam. Ball obviously jumps out of his hand. Seamless. #Redskins
— Chris Russell (@Russellmania621) May 20, 2019
Just one play in 7s for the #Redskins but Dwayne Haskins dropped perfectly from under center & as his back foot planted, fired a seed to a TE over the middle with a LB tight in coverage. Looked good. Was first time I've seen him drop from under.
— Chris Russell (@Russellmania621) May 20, 2019
The other thing of note, Dwayne Haskins throws balls that really protect his WRs — allowing them to avoid body shots or anything like that. He also has threaded the needle on a few balls to where only his receivers could get it. #HTTR
— Rhiannon Walker (@InstantRHIplay) May 20, 2019
Dwayne Haskins is doing a nice job stepping up in the pocket to avoid pressure. He found Darvin Kidsy across the middle. On the next play, same job stepping up trying to hit Terry McLaurin. It went through McLaurin’s hands into Jimmy Moreland’s who returned it. #HTTR
— Rhiannon Walker (@InstantRHIplay) May 20, 2019
CB Jimmy Moreland with an INT off of a Terry McLaurin drop. The rookie sure has an eye for the ball. #Redskins
— Lake Lewis Jr (@LakeLewis) May 20, 2019
“I’m a pick machine,” says Jimmy Moreland. “I’m trying to get that turnover ratio up."

Jay Gruden just said “You better fucking play cover 2, Jimmy Moreland. You better play cover 2!” Moreland managed to force Kelvin Harmon’s route out of bounds. The pass incomplete as a result. A lot of “Good work 2-5!” #HTTR

“I knew he would shine today.” — Redskins Coach Jay Gruden on rookie CB Jimmy Moreland. @iv_jimmy didn’t disappoint either, pulling down the first pick of the day. pic.twitter.com/gQLX0BF47z

Gruden goes out joking about rookie CB Jimmy Moreland, who had the first INT of the day: Told him I knew it was going to be his kind of day - no contact. #redskins
— Kareem Copeland (@kareemcopeland) May 20, 2019
#Redskins DL Caleb Brantley burst thru the line in teams period & almost ate Dwayne Haskins for lunch. Lightning quick leading #Skins HC Jay Gruden to say "We'll check the tape on that one, Brantley! " Obviously Jay thought he got an early start. I thought he timed it well.
— Chris Russell (@Russellmania621) May 20, 2019
Caleb Brantley has made a few nice plays today along the defensive line. #Redskins

Jonathan Allen says the way this defense will get better is making each other uncomfortable every day.
— Matthew Paras (@Matthew_Paras) May 20, 2019
How do they do that?
“Talk shit and compete,” Allen said.
Jon Allen to the podium. He says he’s waiting for the results before having any real reaction.
— Craig Hoffman (@CraigHoffman) May 20, 2019
Every Allen answer is straight forward, matter of fact and Nick Saban approved. It’s wild how consistent he is.
Trey Quinn could very well be a problem, y’all. He’s living his best life out of the slot. Finding short and intermediate holes to sit down in for Haskins or Keenum to drop the ball off to. Stepping up to meet the ball and everything is sticking. #HTTR
— Rhiannon Walker (@InstantRHIplay) May 20, 2019
It’s May. It’s against a lot of different lineups and guys. There’s no hitting. But Cam Sims is involved a lot on offense today

Listened to @CraigHoffman's early roster predictions this weekend w/ his locks, near locks, bubble guys, etc. & I think the most intriguing position is CB. No 'elite' guys, a couple of good players (Dunbar, Norman) & another lock in Moreau, but after that its a complete toss up.

On the lighter side, a few thoughts on Redskins OTA today: RBs Perine and Marshall won't go quietly. ... QB Haskins and Keenum both looked good for a few day. Haskins threw a frozen rope across his body while on the run. Keenum showed veteran poise looking across the field.
— Rick Snider (@Snide_Remarks) May 20, 2019
I chuckled to myself when Keenum mentioned the heat. Brother, you're gonna love Richmond. Welcome to the land of hot and sweaty.
— Rick Snider (@Snide_Remarks) May 20, 2019
Haskins, but I may change my mind 10 times before then.

The division of duties in a front office is so complex that it's even hard for someone with inside info to tell if someone is some rising star NFL exec. "Big Name" GM candidates are often ones with the proper gift for getting mentioned as such.
