Wednesday is the first day of school, of sorts, for the Redskins. While training camp begins on Thursday, players first need a day to officially check in with the front office and — in some cases — get poked and prodded by team doctors.
That also gives the team one more day to sign top draft choice Brian Orakpo before camp begins. He is now the lone Redskins draft pick unsigned, an ominous start to camp considering the Redskins believe he can start right away.
