LaRon Landry could be sidelined at least another week as he continues to rehab a hamstring injury.
Landry sat out practice again on Tuesday, instead working off to the side with athletic trainers.

If he misses this Saturday's preseason game against Carolina, then that would be four preseason games Landry would have missed.

"LaRon has continued to work and if he can end up practicing at the end of this week, I would play him [against Carolina this Saturday]," Jim Zorn said. "But it looks more likely that he will have to wait another week before he gets an opportunity to play."

Landry, in his second NFL season, played in 16 games last year and recorded 97 tackles, 1.5 sacks and seven passes defended.

He came on late in the season, recording two interceptions in the Redskins' playoff game at Seattle.

It's uncertain if Landry will play in the preseason finale on Aug. 28 against Jacksonville.

Team officials remain hopeful he will be ready for the Week 1 regular season game against the New York Giants.

Defensive coordinator Greg Blache admits he is concerned the injury could slow Landry's growth as a player. In particular, Blache wants Landry and Reed Doughty to have a good rapport on the field.

Zorn said he met with Landry on Tuesday morning.

"The only thing that I am holding on to is that he is a veteran, he understands the defense, and that he plays recklessly at full speed," Zorn said. "His leg has to be able to hold up in order to play within his frame of reference."

You're right T-Y... Springs at FS is a good experiment in case of a injury to Landry during the season but that may be taking our best corner out of his position....But Landry is going to be the man back there..gotta get him healthy!

It does not matter how much natural ability you have, if you fail to apply it your not going to go far.

Have hamstrings always taken this long to heal?  Or did the players of yesterday just play hurt alot?  It seems he's been out way too long for a hamstring injury..or could it be the "I don't think I should play in the pre-season" bug that hits "star" players every July/Aug?  I'm no physiologist or sports medicine gal...but sheesh...maybe his injury was more severe than I thought.

Landry's Injury 'Progressing'

LaRon Landry believes his hamstring injury is improving, but he does not have an immediate timetable for his return.
He is not expected to play in this Saturday's preseason game against the Carolina Panthers.

"I really want to play, but it depends on the leg," he said on Wednesday. "Every day I'm progressing, but I don't know when it's going to be 100 percent."

Asked if he was concerned about missing the regular season opener on Sept. 4, Landry replied: "I'm not trying to think negative. I'm getting positive results and that's what I'm looking at right now."

Landry, entering his second NFL season, suffered the hamstring injury early in training. He has been sidelined ever since.

During Redskins practice, Landry spends time jogging under the watch of physical therapist Larry Hess and the team's athletic trainers.

"In certain drills in rehab, I feel [the hamstring injury] and it hurts a little, but it's nothing major," he said.

Landry could start working his way into practice as soon as Thursday, head coach Jim Zorn said.

"LaRon is very close and he's improving daily," Zorn said. "He'll probably start to come out and try to work through some of the practice drills."

With Landry sidelined, rookie Kareem Moore is expected to draw the start at free safety against the Panthers on Saturday night
