Rivera on Antonio Gibson. Said the toe injury isn't an issue. On the field, they're continuing to learn new ways to get him the ball as a receiver while the former college WR progresses with his vision on runs.

Washington used Khaleke Hudson and Danny Johnson periodically with the first-team this morning and have shuffled the slot corner position in general. Rivera: "The way teams are running offenses now, sub-packages are becoming more relevant."

The defense has been rolling through a lot of different combinations in the secondary. That’s because the way offenses are being run, the defense has to use a lot of sub packages. So they have to have players who can play at multiple spots at any time.

Ron Rivera said Khaleke Hudson is a player they believe deserved a longer look. Said Hudson is playing the role that LB Shaq Thompson played for him in Carolina.

They have about five different players rolling in and out of the Buffalo Nickel position

Ron Rivera mentioned that it did get a little chippy today during practice and he told his players to not cross the line. He did say however, that if a player is talking to you don’t allow that player to get inside your head.#washingtonfootballteam #WFT #NFLTrainingCamp pic.twitter.com/Aw3y2U4ns7
