RICHMOND — Bashaud Breeland will miss at least a month after spraining the MCL in his right knee during the Washington Redskins’ practice on Friday afternoon.
The second-year cornerback slipped and fell while covering rookie wide receiver Quinton Dunbar during one-on-one drills midway through the second practice of training camp.
Washington opens the regular season on Sept. 13 against the Miami Dolphins, meaning there’s a chance he could miss that game if his recovery lingers.
“I think we got the best-case scenario for probably what we thought,” coach Jay Gruden said. “When he was withering in pain there, we thought it was pretty bad, but it looks like it will probably be four to six weeks.
