RICHMOND, VA — (WMAL) The off-season drama over Kirk Cousin’s future is over. Time to strap on the shoulder pads.

The Redskins return to Richmond for their fifth year of training camp in Virginia’s capital, with two weeks of mostly-public practices as they prepare for the season.

23 public practices and walk-throughs in all will be available, and admission is free for all fans planning to attend. Fans are encouraged to register for all events at redskins.com/trainingcamp.

“It’s a great opportunity for fans to get really up close to the players,” says Redskins Chief Content Officer Larry Michael. “This will be out fifth year here in Richmond, and each year the improvements here at the facility – it’s just a magnificent facility for the fans to get an up close look at the Redskins.”

Most days will include two opportunities for fans to watch – a morning walk through, followed by an afternoon practice. In between, there will be food and retail shops for fans to enjoy.

Michael also says there are special opportunities for kids.

“After every practice, players will go to the sidelines and reach out to a child. The child will go on the field and walk across the field with the players and get their gloves and their autographs,” he says.

The Redskins will open their pre-season in Baltimore on Thursday, August 10th with a game against the Ravens, and will wrap up their time in Richmond on Saturday, August 13th with Social Media Day.
