"The Washington Redskins have nine rookies on the 53-man roster, but their group of veterans is deep also - when healthy. Monday represented some semblance of good news in that department as tight end Chris Cooley and safeties LaRon Landry and Oshiomogho Atogwe practiced.

Atogwe practiced fully, and though Cooley and Landry were limited, they were with the first team in the first workout preparing for Sunday's season opener against the New York Giants.

Atogwe should be fine, and though coach Mike Shanahan cited "progress," he didn't know if Cooley or Landry would play.

"Have to evaluate [Landry] and [Cooley] the whole week," he said. "And then make a decision at game time, see how they practice and see how the knee works out.""
