Rivera said he has to get used to the idea of speaking for the organization - something he didn’t do in Carolina - he led a meeting of over 200 employees on Monday to help the team come up with the organization’s response
— Les Carpenter (@Lescarpenter) June 10, 2020
Ron Rivera said the Redskins have started a number of initiatives based on social justice including having town hall meetings led by members of the org including Doug Williams. He said Dan Snyder gave them $250,000 to help fund these programs.

Ron Rivera says he is proud of the protests following George Floyd death. He said he is especially proud of Dwayne Haskins and Chase Young for taking part in DC protests
— Les Carpenter (@Lescarpenter) June 10, 2020
Rivera said he didn’t have an issue with players kneeling during the anthem. Said he re-read the constitution and Bill of Rights etc. said he supports it based on the constitution.
— John Keim (@john_keim) June 10, 2020
Rivera on Dwayne Haskins: "He's really taken what he and I talked about to heart." Rivera wanted Haskins to take a step forward and become a leader this offseason.
— Matthew Paras (@Matthew_Paras) June 10, 2020
Rivera said he did not bring in any outside speakers. But he said Pastor Brett Fuller addressed the team the other day. Spoke with passion.
— John Keim (@john_keim) June 10, 2020
Malcolm Blacken, Jennifer King, Doug Williams, the team chaplain and more are apart of the internal group that will help with the dialogues happening. Rivera pointed out how King is a former police officer. #HTTR

This is essentially what I've said/written about spots such as LT as well. The young guys provide building blocks for the future. Guessing there will be vets available in August if they truly need help at one of these spots.
— John Keim (@john_keim) June 10, 2020
Rivera said that he looked outside his office and saw Derrius Guice outside working on his rehab. He's looking forward to seeing where he is, as well as, Adrian Peterson "looking young as ever." #HTTR

The best @dh_simba7 has seen from @TheTerry_25
— Washington Redskins (@Redskins) June 10, 2020
Dwayne Haskins said he weighed around 235-237 pounds after he got to the Redskins last year. Was around 227 entering the offseason. Now down to 218. "I'll be more dynamic," he said.
— John Keim (@john_keim) June 10, 2020
Haskins said he was glad he went to the protests on Saturday. Got a chance to listen to speakers, etc., talk to others. Wanted to do more than just send out a tweet.
— John Keim (@john_keim) June 10, 2020
Haskins has worked out and thrown to Terry McLaurin. "This is the best I've seen Terry," he said.
— John Keim (@john_keim) June 10, 2020
How do you cut weight, Dwayne Haskins Jr?? “It wasn’t intended to lose that much weight, I guess, but it just happens. I think I’ll be more of a dynamic football player.” #httr #dwaynehaskinsjr @Redskins @NBCSWashington pic.twitter.com/Ou8AYdpSDA

We’ve seen the videos, but what should we make of them? I ask Dwayne Haskins Jr. about working w/ his fellow rookie class WR’s and the savy vets he’s thrown with. #httr #bebetter #newseason #nfl @NBCSWashington @Redskins pic.twitter.com/Z7nrE3Yldq
— Julie Donaldson (@JDonaldsonNBCS) June 10, 2020
These are conversations he is having with his teammates. He says everyone has been supportive. HC Ron Rivera challenged him to step up in leadership. THIS is how.

Here's Dwayne Haskins on his decision to attend the protests in DC. pic.twitter.com/YK9ooZB6FN
— michael phillips (@michaelpRTD) June 10, 2020
Dwayne Haskins says personally for him, it's been Black Lives Matter his whole life. It's been Black Lives Matter all of his parents' lives. He said it shouldn't take someone being killed to stop racism. He's looking forward to participating actionable change #HTTR
— Rhiannon Walker (@InstantRHIplay) June 10, 2020
Dwayne Haskins says that he spoke to Doug Williams and Malcom Blacken ahead of attending the #BlackLivesMatter protest. #HTTR
— Rhiannon Walker (@InstantRHIplay) June 10, 2020
I swear we addressed this aspect of kneeling with Drew Brees. Regardless, Haskins said he hasn't decided if he'd join Adrian Peterson in kneeling during the anthem, but respects any teammate that does. https://t.co/7GZHGjLgQ0
— Ben Standig (@BenStandig) June 10, 2020
Haskins says that both Kelvin Harmon and Steven Sims are in great shape, and he's not worried about that part. It's the communication they're missing by not being on the field mostly. #HTTR
— Rhiannon Walker (@InstantRHIplay) June 10, 2020
Dwayne Haskins said he has worked this offseason to change any perceptions about “immaturity” has mentioned leadership several times today.
— Les Carpenter (@Lescarpenter) June 10, 2020
Dwayne Haskins said regardless of whether the questions about his maturity were true, he wanted to step up. He wanted to apply pressure to himself to put all of that to rest. #HTTR
— Rhiannon Walker (@InstantRHIplay) June 10, 2020
Haskins says he wants to be the face of the franchise and has been working toward it: "I want to be a man about my business."

Also the other thing to keep in mind on a macro level, with everything going on in the world right now, based on multiple conversations, some clubs are going to be “even more cash-conscious,” with one source telling me they wouldn’t be surprised if the cap went down next season.

I didn’t see it coming, but I’ve had more debate in my mentions over Ryan Anderson than any other player. I think he’s a SLB and I think he re-signs with the #Redskins bc of his attitude and effectiveness at that position. Monster against the run. https://t.co/JjEJCIPVF5

Was Alfred Morris a product of the Redskins system at the time, or was he a Pro Bowl RB?
— Mark Tyler(Hogs Haven) (@Tiller56) June 10, 2020
Before he was the Redskins top pick in 2012, RG3 had a stellar career ay Baylor.
— NBC Sports Redskins (@NBCSRedskins) June 10, 2020
But the QB explained in an interview this week that he almost never went to Baylor in the first place.

The next season, Gary Clark went to Phoenix via free agency... and you might think this would open the door for Howard. Except Washington signed ex-Bengal WR Tim McGee, who started 12 games. Sanders and Monk led the team in targets. Howard was the 4th WR (and didn't play well).
— Football Perspective (@fbgchase) June 10, 2020
Then Howard was exposed in the expansion draft, and the Jaguars took him. It did not work out, in part due to injuries.

The #Caps will transition to Phase 2 of the return to play protocol tomorrow. That means players can begin training and skating in small groups (max of six at a time). MedStar Capitals Iceplex will remain closed to the public, most team staff and media for now.
