Redskins players Santana Moss, Mark Brunell, Philip Daniels, Renaldo Wynn, Marcus Washington, Randy Thomas, and Shawn Springs have all been fully cleared for training camp.
All except Wynn and Brunell are starters, so its welcome news for Joe Gibbs. Moss had a minor hip ailment in the offseason. Washington and Springs are coming off surgeries and may practice once a day. Daniels and Wynn weren't 100% all offseason.
Clinton Portis ran 16 100-meter dashes at his normal times this week, indicating his knee tendonitis is behind him.
Portis is ready to go for the start of training camp. If he can stay healthy throughout August, his draft stock should rise back towards the first round in fantasy leagues. Ladell Betts is a solid player, but ultimately he's still a backup.

Medical Check-up
Sorry for the late post - I have endured massive laptop problems and the thing just finally booted up 5 minutes ago - but had a chance to chat with director of sports medicine, Bubba Tyer, for a few minutes this afternoon.
He says everyone is ready to go for Friday and they expect every player to be able to participate fully in all drills when the whistle blows Friday afternoon. Clinton has been around the facility and Bubba said he ran 16 100-yard dashes the other day at his normal time, which was a great indication that his knee tendonitis is behind him.
Brunell is good to go. Wynn and Daniels will have their health restrictions lifted for the first time all offseason and Randy Thomas is back from his knee scope. Guys who are coming off long-term injuries - like Clinton, Springs, Marcus, Santana - will be watched closely and, like in years past, when there are two-a-days veterans coming off injuries may be held out of a session or two as a preventative measure, Bubba said, but when they do practice they will do so without restriction.
As for Bubba, one of my favorite characters in this game, he says he drove up to Buffalo for a wedding this offseason, then down the coast all the way to deep in Louisiana, where he checked in on the Manning's passing camp for high school kids, then down into Texas, back to his home. This is the calm before the storm for the trainers, because, by Friday night undoubtedly the training room will be filled with guys with scrapes, bumps and injuries. That's football, folks.
