Maybe the Redskins are ready to move forward. Maybe Albert Haynesworth is on board.

Find out what I’ll be watching on Friday night when the NFL’s preseason schedule continues with three games.

The Redskins were one of the teams to release training camp depth charts Monday, and with it may have revealed a few hints at where things stand at several positions.

The Class A Hickory Crawdads of the South Atlantic League had planned to hold a “Haynesworth Conditioning Challenge” after their Thursday night game against the Asheville Tourists. Fans had the chance to run the Redskins conditioning test — and anyone finishing the test in the required time would get two season tickets for the rest of the season. Anyone named Albert or wearing a Redskins jersey would have gotten free admission to the game.

Reports have been positive on Clinton Portis, but I’m still not buying into him having a comeback season.

“There’s no way T.O. could be a Panther,” Carolina LB Jon Beason wrote in an NFL.com chat Thursday. “Based on the fact that our ownership and coaches believe that the locker room is important and based on T.O.’s history, for whatever reason, he’s been a distraction in the locker room.”

NBA godfather Michael Jordan, Cowboys QB Tony Romo and the Celtics’ Ray Allen will tee off together in the flesh, followed by a quarterback trio to die for: Troy Aikman, John Elway and Aaron Rodgers.

The chatter about Vincent Jackson‘s future has picked up of late, and there’s no shortage of intrigue as to which teams could be interested in the Pro Bowl receiver and at what point the Chargers would consider trading him.

Vincent Jackson is a physical, big (6-foot-5) game breaker of a receiver. Who would not want him?

Well the Chargers for one.

Albert Haynesworth is not making a lot of friends these days. About the only person less popular than Haynesworth right now is the guy wearing a Kobe Bryant jersey while walking through Beacon Hill today.

As the Redskins mull their options on what direction to take with the disgruntled Albert Haynesworth, Mike Shanahan told reporters Thursday the organization does have a plan.

Redskins coach Mike Shanahan has taken his recruitment of free-agent RB Brian Westbrook public.

I’m avoiding the Redskins backfield on fantasy draft day. Even Clinton Portis.

Mike Shanahan is taking a wait-and-see approach in the aftermath of Santana Moss being linked to a federal investigation of Dr. Anthony Galea.

NFL Network insider Jason La Canfora considers JaMarcus Russell‘s release by the Raiders a matter of when, not if. And the when could come before this weekend’s minicamp in Alameda, Calif.
