Does anyone know if the Redskin players are holding any type of practice or workout. If so, are the drafted players invited.

A list of who was present:
Offense: Cooley, Brandon Banks, Mike Sellers, Casey Rabach, Terrence Austin, Ryan Torain, Will Montgomery, Darrel Young, Erik Cook, Clint Oldenburg, Rex Grossman, John Beck, Keiland Williams, Anthony Armstrong, Logan Paulsen, Leonard Hankerson, Roy Helu, Niles Paul, Evan Royster, Kory Litchtensteiger, Fred Davis, Selvish Capers, Maurice Hurt and Andre Brown.
Defense: Fletcher, Lorenzo Alexander, Kedric Golston, Chris Horton, Chris Neild, Chris Wilson, Ryan Kerrigan, Perry Riley, Rocky McIntosh, Kevin Barnes, DeAngelo Hall, Macho Harris, Anderson Russell, DeJon Gomes, Markus White and Brandon Thompson.
The only notable absences by players who are under contract were left tackle Trent Williams, linebacker Brian Orakpo and safety LaRon Landry. The only draft picks not present were second-rounder Jarvis Jenkins and sixth-rounder Aldrick Robinson.
The minicamp already has more flow and organization than the two-day camp the players put together last month in their effort to stay sharp and maintain camaraderie during the NFL lockout. Tuesday morning's session went for 90 minutes and combined a number of individual and team drills, with linebacker London Fletcher leading the defense, center Casey Rabach shepherding around the offensive linemen and fullback Mike Sellers handling the running backs.
"The last time we got together it was "OK, how do we run this?" Beck said. "Now we know. Now we know the structure that we want to have, so now we can go off that structure and increase tempo, increase plays, and get more out of it."
But it's still not the same. Afterward, Beck pointed out that Redskins practices are filmed in great detail. He wished he could have the chance to go back and review the workout to see whether his footwork was correct, or whether he misread the coverage on a particular pass route.
"We've already missed so many regular practices," Beck said. "In an ideal offseason, we would only have 2½, three weeks left. We've already botched the first four weeks."
The surprise guest was NFL Players Association executive director DeMaurice Smith, who answered players' questions for about 15 minutes after practice. Players said Smith didn't say much that was new, but mostly gave a timeline of upcoming important dates as the lockout makes its way through the courts.
Smith also urged the players to stick together through the uncertain times. He did not speak to reporters.
"I think it's very important for the players to hear from the De Smith," tight end Chris Cooley said, "and to hear what we have going on."
