Redskins safety Duke Ihenacho said he was still thinking about his left wrist, which he broke in last year’s season opener, during the Redskins’ first preseason game against the Falcons Thursday night.

But, even though he had worn a wrist brace throughout training camp, Ihenacho decided against wearing it prior to the game, instead choosing to wrap it in tape.

“I was just like, ‘I’m not wearing it,’ because I felt good going into the game and I still feel good, so it lets me know if I’m not wearing it I’ll be fine,” Ihenacho said.
