Like most, Redskins Training Camp had its share of good and bad. Sucky injury news – but nothing too serious – was offset by good injury news. And Derrius Guice is apparently still awesome. Read the tweet sheet!

All the tweets you need today from Redskins Training Camp Day 3
Redskins Training Camp Day 3
The one thing no one wants to see at training camp – any training camp – is injuries. However, they happen every year.
It’s the nature of the sport. If you can’t deal with injuries, then I suggest watching baseball. Obviously, the Nationals never have any injuries.
That was sarcasm. Just so you know. Some people’s sarcasm detectors are less powerful than others.
On to the tweets from Redskins training camp day 3.
#Redskins will be in pads today for the 1st time.
— George Wallace (@GWallaceWTOP) July 28, 2018
Oh HELL TO THE YEAH.
… and then
First day of pads, but Jay Gruden is tempering expectations – said the Redskins won't take a full amount of reps because of injuries they're dealing with.

Ah hell to the no.
In more uplifting news, Jordan Reed is not one of those guys. Not really anyway.
TE Jordan Reed will take some 1 on 1 work today….

Jordan Reed said he feels more explosive after his two toe surgeries. He doesn’t look wrong here: pic.twitter.com/lFrDmrmSvQ

Reed looks really good. Looks fine on his double-sticks. Fans loving it. #Redskins pic.twitter.com/PKKlSFLUvO

No tweet sheet would be complete without Derrius Guice looking sweet.
Guice is your first back in the backfield today for team reps.
— Matthew Paras (@Matthew_Paras) July 28, 2018
First team back in. But a few second teamers on the OL for reps
First snap:
Guice run right and it's a beauty. Big gain. Crowd is pleased.
Something happened with Scherff though and he rotates out. I'll monitor. #Redskins
— Chad Ryan (@ChadwikoRCC) July 28, 2018
Let’s ignore that thing about Scherff, shall we? Pics or it didn’t happen. And I’ve got no pics.
The D-Line is still showing up, just like yesterday, even with a man down (more on that in a sec). Specifically, there were several tweets about the D-line stuffing the runs. This was my particular favorite:
Third snap and Kelley comes in at RB
It's an inside run through the A gap.
Again, no gain. This DL of Allen, Ioannidis and today Phil Taylor is plugging all gaps. #Redskins
— Chad Ryan (@ChadwikoRCC) July 28, 2018
You know who else is showing up?
DJ Swearinger, that’s who.

Ok, time for our regular segment:
Depressing AF Injury News from Redskins Training Camp Day 3
Zach Brown, Ryan Anderson
More injury updates: Ryan Anderson (back spasms) might return Sunday… LB Zach Brown remains day to day with a quad injury. Gruden said it was nothing serious…
— John Keim (@john_keim) July 28, 2018
The news quickly got better for Zach Brown.
11 on 11s.
Zach Brown on the field 👀
— Kimberley A. Martin (@ByKimberleyA) July 28, 2018
Zach Brown (quad strain) is doing a lot more team work today compared to yesterday. He appears to be fine.
— Matthew Paras (@Matthew_Paras) July 28, 2018
But no so much form Daron Payne
Defensive tackle Daron Payne will miss two to three weeks after injuring his ankle during practice Friday. He'll be in a boot for the next week. Payne will start at nose tackle. Coach Jay Gruden said the absence won't hurt Payne much. "He's in great… https://t.co/4UGlhEreZm
— John Keim (@john_keim) July 28, 2018
I hear what Gruden's saying … Still not ideal for any rookie to miss 2-3 weeks during his first training camp. https://t.co/ABe5rkfllY
— Kimberley A. Martin (@ByKimberleyA) July 28, 2018
Payne is feeling some. #redskins Rookie DT Deron Payne has a leg injury and is expected to miss 2-3 weeks. This is huge for a rookie. I'd be surprised if he able to go week 1 in AZ for more than a couple plays. If at all. They will not rush him. pic.twitter.com/NfkGPaN9Ij
— Ed Sheahin (@NFLPhotoGuy) July 28, 2018
Keep Calm and Carry On, Redskins fans. It will be ok.
Talked w Daron Payne, he was very clear that he’s ok.

We all forgot about Phil Taylor, didn’t we? I sort of did.
Taylor looks to be in great shape. This is pretty much his last chance. Hope he makes the most of it and stays healthy. What a huge bonus that would be. pic.twitter.com/8409zHbFR2

I predicted in our second podcast, a few weeks ago, that Trey Quinn would make the team. Before anyone else did. I’d like an award or something. A cookie would be fine.
Quinn hasn’t made a ton of plays but he’s been on the field with the 1s at times. He’s making this team. Robert Davis looks good too. Mo Harris’ seat is hot. #Redskins https://t.co/x5jgkLmpWs

Gruden impressed with 5th round pick Tim Settle. He will help offset the Daron Payne injury. Blessing in disguise? In any event, it means more reps for the former Hokie.
Gruden: I was really impressed with Tim (Settle) yesterday.

Here’s our obligatory Rich Tandler tweet, here talking about Alex Smith:
ICYMI: Alex Smith will make some big plays for the #Redskins moving outside of the pocket. But his mobility could pay off in subtler ways, too, and those plays may ultimately be more important. https://t.co/Vmfa2dcnyb pic.twitter.com/TC1ndpYgBX

Jay Gruden secretly wishes he was young enough to still play. Or not so secretly.

I followed somebody named Kennedy Painter about a week ago. I’m glad I did, because the tweets are the sweets:
WR group. Some big dudes compared to years past. Making Crowder look like he just got pulled up from JV. #Redskins pic.twitter.com/kqtPqamccv
— Kennedy Paynter (@Kennedy_Paynter) July 28, 2018
WRs working on getting low. Crowder dropped one and heard it from the fans…laughed it off. #Redskins pic.twitter.com/PThgHUZDAC
