Redskins head coach Jay Gruden told reporters on Saturday that rookie defensive lineman Da’Ron Payne is out of his walking boot and “doing great.” Payne spent Saturday’s practice working on the side with trainers. (John Keim on Twitter )
Fantasy Impact:
While the news is encouraging, Gruden also said it will be another week before Payne will return to full health. The former Alabama defensive lineman injured his ankle July 27 when he had it stepped on in practice. Upon his return, he is expected to be the team’s starting nose tackle and may play multiple roles along the defensive line. Fellow rookie Tim Settle has seen a larger role in Payne’s absence.
