    >RICHMOND [url=http://www.buffalobillsteamonline.com/tremaine-edmunds-jersey]Tremaine Edmunds Bills Jersey[/url] , Va. 鈥?Day Five of Redskins training camp is in the books, and some players are starting to stand out, especially during the full-team portions of practice.It’s going to be a real tough call for the coaches to decide which running backs will make the squad. There are seven in camp right now, and the team will probably keep four. After rookie Derrius Guice and Chris Thompson as a one-two punch, there looks to be serious competition for two spots between Rob Kelley, Samaje Perinie, Byron Marshall and Kapri Bibbs.Guice, Kelley and Perine have all taken snaps with the first unit during team drills. Guice had a nice touchdown run during the team session Tuesday. Marshall has also stood out, having a good camp to this point.Thompson was on the field Tuesday for his first work in team drills as he recovers from a fractured fibula. Head coach Jay Gruden said he expects him to be “full-go” sooner than later.Related StoriesDoctson, Redskins brush off MRI [url=http://www.billsauthorizedshops.com/authentic-harrison-phillips-jersey]http://www.billsauthorizedshops.com/authentic-harrison-phillips-jersey[/url] , WR primed for breakout yearWashington RedskinsRedskins 1st-rounder Payne out 2-3 weeks with ankle injuryWashington Redskins“I’ll probably ramp it up a little more,” Thompson said after practice. “They’ve been taking good care of me, and I feel like I had a good day today.”One of the plays that stood out for Thompson was a screen pass during the 11-on-11 period. And, if this weren’t practice?“Touchdown. In a game-time situation, he wouldn’t have caught me,” Thompson said of his defender.At the receiver position, Mo Harris is having a great camp.

He made a couple of聽 nice pass deflections and also ended an 11-on-11 session with an interception in the end zone.Quote of the day:Gruden [url=http://www.redskinsauthorizedshops.com/authentic-pernell-mcphee-jersey]Redskins Pernell McPhee Jersey[/url] , talking about the quarterback position so far in camp: “Alex is throwing the ball very well, as is Kirk … Jesus, I mean Colt.”Hey, he could have said Kurt.Injuries鈥?Linebacker Ryan Anderson returned to practice on Tuesday after sitting out the last couple with back spasms.鈥?Tight end Jordan Reed and tackle Ty Nsekhe were given planned rest days and did not participate.鈥?Linebacker Mason Foster was limited Tuesday with a stomach muscle strain.Gruden said he is aiming for Saturday (Fan Appreciation Day) to give Jordan Reed his first 11-on-11 team reps. He said they are taking it slow but will go from there and build on it after Saturday. Like WTOP on Facebook and follow WTOP on to engage in conversation about this article and others.漏 2018 WTOP.

He has plenty on his plate right now, though.

    Singletary was at minicamp with the Detroit Lions on Thursday. He said he doesn't know Lions coach Matt Patricia that well, but he wanted to be there to check out the video screens Detroit is using at practice.

    Singletary was hired earlier this year to coach high school football at Trinity Christian Academy in Texas. He also has been hired as coach of the Memphis franchise in the Alliance of American Football, which will start playing in February.

    Singletary has coached for three NFL teams, including a stint as San Francisco's head coach. The 49ers went 18-22 under him from 2008-10. Singletary was asked if he thought he could get another opportunity like that.

    "I hope so. But for me, I'm going to work where I'm planning," he said. "Very excited to be where I am [url=http://www.cowboyscheapauthenticstore.com/jihad-ward-jersey-cheap]Jihad Ward Jersey Cowboys[/url] , and if that happens, great. If not, then I'm going to keep working where I'm at."

    Singletary says he learned some lessons from his time coaching in the NFL.

    "It's a long list of things. I think more so than anything else is how much I needed to do 鈥?how much work I needed to do as a coach and being able to coach my coaches and have them help my players. ... Just getting more information, just getting more grounding as a head coach."

    A star linebacker with the Chicago Bears, Singletary was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1998. He clearly still enjoys being involved in the sport.

    "It's such a great game, such a great game when you have the right people involved, when you have the right coaches and you've got good kids," Singletary said. "I think all kids are good kids. ... You've got to know which ones you've got to manage, and the ones that help the others. But it's just such a great game, and so many life lessons [url=http://www.steelerscheapshops.com/cheap-authentic-mason-rudolph-jersey]Authentic Mason Rudolph Jersey[/url] , so very important game to me, in America."

    As for the video screens at practice, Patricia explained the purpose this week.

    "You may have missed something on the field. You kind of look at it and see what happens. You see what went wrong on the play and can get that instant kind of correction to the player right away," Patricia said. "A lot of the times the players are trying to figure it out for themselves. So, they'll see something and, 'Hey, what happened right there?' And they can look at it and reference it from that standpoint."
