RICHMOND — Seven months after undergoing surgery to repair a broken right leg, Chris Thompson lined up in the backfield Tuesday and when the play snapped, he looked like the running back the Redskins were used to seeing.
Thompson, participating in 11-on-11 drills for the first time since his injury, appeared to carry the same explosive speed that made him Washington’s most reliable playmaker last season.
“He looks great,” coach Jay Gruden said.
But while Thompson has made considerable progress, the running back said afterward he still isn’t 100 percent.
