Major brawl erupts at end of Redskins-Texans practice
On the other practice field, where Washington’s defense was going against Houston’s offense, Redskins veteran linebacker Adam Hayward found himself exchanging blows with Texans offensive tackle Aaron Adams before a pile of players fell on top of them. We’re just going to go out here and give these guys reps, like Coach Callahan said, ‘Cross-train them, ‘ and then let the exhibition games take care of themselves and we’ll make our decisions for Miami.
RB Darren McFadden (hamstring) won’t get his first practice at camp until after Thursday’s preseason opener at San Diego and Lance Dunbar (ankle) is still out.
“It’s a day to get better and come out here and compete and work on your technique, because you’re going against the best”, Moses said.

“He either needs to get his weight up or get out of the way”, Hall said of Johnson.
