Report: Redskins WR Pierre Garcon cleared for training camp
Washington Redskins wide receiver Pierre Garcon has reportedly been cleared for training camp. Garcon underwent surgery in January to repair the labrum in his right shoulder.
Dr. James Andrews has been on a roll this week.
He has given the all-clear to Redskins wide receiver Pierre Garcon, according to a report Thursday in the Washington Post. Garcon had surgery in January to repair the labrum in his right shoulder.
On Wednesday, Andrews cleared Texans linebacker Brian Cushing to play. Cushing, who tore his ACL in October, will now be able to practice when Houston's veterans report to training camp on July 25.
Garcon was limited to 10 games last season, but it had nothing to do with his labrum. The 26-year-old missed six of the Redskins first nine games thanks to a torn ligament in the second toe of his right foot, an injury Garcon chose not to have surgery on.
Despite missing six games last season, Garcon still led the team in receiving yards (633) while finishing second on the team in both receptions (44) and touchdown catches (4).
Garcon, who spent the first four years of his career in Indianapolis, is going into his second season with Washington.
The Redskins are scheduled to report to training camp on July 24.
