Like any coach on a new team, Perry Fewell spent the last several months studying and interacting with the Redskins' roster, enhancing strengths, eliminating weaknesses, acquainting himself with the group of cornerbacks and safeties that he would be leading this season.
But just a week into training camp in Richmond, Va., Bashaud Breeland injured his MCL, DeAngelo Hall and Chris Culliver tweaked their groins, David Amerson banged his shoulder and Jeron Johnson pulled his hamstring.
“We almost have to start back over again,” Fewell said.
Injuries are a regular part of football, and sometimes teams catch “the bug,” as head coach Jay Gruden lamented earlier this week.
