Perry Riley Jr. Returns To The Field

Prior to Friday’s afternoon practice, the Redskins announced that they activated inside linebacker Perry Riley Jr. from the Active/Physically Unable to Perform list.

Riley Jr. missed the final five weeks of the regular season with a broken right foot that he suffered in practice in early December. The diagnosis at the time was that he would miss the next 3-6 weeks, but a setback in the offseason forced him into a walking boot, causing him to miss offseason workouts and minicamp.

Head coach Jay Gruden said the team would ease Riley Jr. back into the swing of things as the week progressed.
