Redskins' Breeland expected to miss 4-6 weeks with bad knee
Aug 1, 2015 - 7:33 PM RICHMOND, Va. (AP) Washington Redskins coach Jay Gruden says cornerback Bashaud Breeland is expected to miss four to six weeks with an MCL problem in his right knee.Gruden addressed Breeland's injury on Saturday, a day after the second-year player was hurt during the second practice of training camp.
Gruden calls Breeland's diagnosis ''the best-case scenario, probably, for what we thought'' and says ''he's a fast healer.''
Gruden says Justin Rogers, Tevin Mitchel and Kyshoen Jarrett will get a shot at playing in the slot with Breeland out.
Breeland went down to the turf shortly after the NFL announced he would be suspended for the Redskins' regular-season opener against Miami for violating the substance abuse policy.
Also Saturday, the Redskins signed cornerback Deshazor Everett and released linebacker Dasman McCullum.
