Redskins DB Josh Holsey Will Miss the Beginning of Training Camp Due to Freak Injury

The  Washington Redskins will be without cornerback Josh Holsey for the first part of training camp. The seventh-round pick in the 2017 draft impressed last season on special teams and minimally on the defensive side of the ball. 

While the Redskins were hoping to see a big jump from the young corner in his sophomore season, they'll have to wait because of an injury he suffered right before camp. 

A freak accident will sideline Redskins CB Josh Holsey for the start of training camp after a table fell on his foot, sources tell me and @RapSheet. Last year's 7th rounder appeared in 12 games as a rookie and the team has high hopes for him moving forward.

Holsey is already a great story with the abbreviated success he's had in the ​NFL. The former Auburn Tiger suffered two separate ACL injuries while in college, making him a risk most professional teams would be unlikely to take. 

Of course, Washington decided to take a gamble, and thus far the seventh-rounder has been an effective special teams player.  

Hearing that Redskins CB Josh Holsey enters training camp with a foot injury, per sources. The extent of injury unclear. Jay Gruden talks at 4.

While the specifics of the injury are unknown, Holsey and the Redskins without a doubt are hoping for speedy recovery.
