Gay Marriage Vote Puts Heat On Christie
Update (June 12): The Redskins decided not to wait any longer to determine Thrash's future -- the team announced today that it has released the veteran wide receiver after he failed to pass a physical. Both owner Dan Snyder and coach Jim Zorn expressed hope that Thrash would retain some sort of non-playing positive within the Washington organization.ASHBURN, Va. -- There has been speculation throughout the Redskins' offseason workouts that wide receiver James Thrash may retire due to a lingering neck injury. If he opts to continue attempting to rehab instead, with designs on eventually returning to the field, Washington may be forced to place Thrash on the Physically Unable to Perform list (PUP).
It's a move that could come sooner rather than later. Thrash has, thus far, missed all of Washington's offseason workouts, and head coach Jim Zorn does not anticipate him returning for training camp in July. If that's the case, Zorn said, the Redskins will have to take action.
"He's got a situation where it's not improving -- we've got a little time, but certain decisions will have to be made as we go along here," Zorn said. "He was in my office today. We were talking about the plan, and we're just trying to work that plan."
Thrash saw action in all 16 Redskins games last season, starting five. He's sought out multiple opinions on the bulging neck disc that's causing him problems, but surgery would almost certainly force him to retire.
The Redskins must have their roster down to 80 players by July 30 when training camp begins, so they will probably try to make some sort of executive decision on Thrash's future by that point.
In other injury news out of Washington's OTA, offensive lineman Mike Williams sat out Thursday's workout. Zorn said that Williams is dealing with a pulled quad, and his absence had nothing to do with the minor knee injury he suffered earlier this week.
