Redskins G Scherff targets training camp return

Washington Redskins right guard Brandon Scherff said he is 90 percent recovered from a torn pectoral muscle and will be "ready to go" for training camp. Scherff, 27, sustained the season-ending injury during a 38-14 loss to the Atlanta Falcons on Nov. 4.

"I think it was just a fluke injury," said Scherff, who competed in the Redskins Charity Golf Classic earlier this week. "My arm got caught in a weird position, and my pec popped. There's nothing you can really train for that injury, but it's all about getting stronger and eating healthier -- I've been doing that a lot better -- and just not worrying about (the injury). Just going out and playing football." Scherff was the Redskins' first-round pick (fifth overall) in 2015 and was selected to the Pro Bowl in 2016 and 2017.

Before the injury, he had started 54 of a possible 56 games. --Field Level Media
