Redskins' Junior Galette: Should be ready for camp

Redskins head coach Jay Gruden said Galette (Achilles) should be ready for the start of training camp, Mike Jones of The Washington Post reports.

Analysis:

Released by the Saints last summer amid domestic violence allegations, Galette quickly caught on with Washington but then tore an Achilles toward the end of training camp. He served a two-game suspension while recovering from the injury, and all known charges/suits against him have either been dismissed or dropped. The 28-year-old Galette hopes to regain the form that saw him record double-digit sacks for the Saints in 2013 (12.0) and 2014 (10.0), but it does appear he'll have to compete for snaps on a Washington defense that's well-stocked at outside linebacker. In addition to long-time starter Ryan Kerrigan, the Redskins have 2015 second-round pick Preston Smith (eight sacks as a rookie) and 2014 second-rounder Trent Murphy (23 career starts).
