Redskins WR Thomas has hamstring injury

Jul 24, 2008 - 9:37 PM ASHBURN, Virginia (Ticker) -- Washington Redskins rookie wide receiver Devin Thomas suffered a hamstring injury during practice Thursday and could be sidelined at least one week.

Washington's top selection and the 34th overall pick in this year's draft, Thomas sustained the injury while running down the sideline on a pass route.

The 6-2 Thomas was carted off the field and will need "a couple weeks" to rehab the injury, according to Redskins executive vice president Vinny Cerrato.

"He pulled his hamstring," Redskins first-year coach Jim Zorn said. "We don't know the extent of it yet. We'll get it calmed down and after we evaluate it, what it means for getting him back out there."

Thomas could potentially miss the Redskins' Hall of Fame Game against the Indianapolis Colts on August 3.

"That's where having the extra preseason game and coming in early helps," Cerrato said. "If he can get back, he should be able to play in four preseason games."
