RICHMOND — The Washington Redskins will begin practicing in pads during Saturday’s training camp session — one of the moments players get most excited for during the grueling summer workouts.
It’s when the practices finally feel like football and the intensity ratchets up from the non-contact organized team activities that take place in the spring. It’s also when coaches can begin more earnest evaluations along the offensive and defensive line and the running game.
Kory Lichtensteiger said he feels healthy after missing 11 regular-season games last season because of a nerve injury and Saturday’s practice — and the sessions beyond — will be a good measuring stick for the veteran center.
