RICHMOND, Va. -- Theres no quarterback controversy at Washington Redskins training camp. Instead, theres plenty of optimism coming off a division title.Kirk Cousins is the unquestioned starting quarterback, even if he doesnt have a long-term contract and will be playing on the franchise tag. Coach Jay Gruden doesnt expect Cousins contract status to be a distraction at what is mostly a distraction-free camp.The contract will take care of itself, Gruden said Wednesday on the eve of the teams first workout. We wont have any conversations about the contract, about his future contracts, any of that stuff. All were going to focus on is this year and him getting better and being the best quarterback he can possibly be.Cousins maturation as a quarterback is the biggest reason for positivity after the Redskins surprisingly won the NFC East before losing at home to the Packers in the wild-card round. The Redskins cut Robert Griffin III as expected, and the 2012 No. 2 pick is trying to rejuvenate his career in Cleveland.Meanwhile, Cousins will make $19.95 million on the franchise tag, and the expectations are high for him after throwing for 4,166 yards and 29 touchdowns.Hes got a year out of film, people are going to study on him and hes going to have to study other people and prepare himself no differently, and were going to coach him no differently, Gruden said. Hes a great football player, made great strides last year. Were all excited about it. But hes got to continue that progress.Gruden wants his entire team to continue making progress and has already seen a noticeable improvement in the quality and quantity of in-house talent from when he arrived. And homegrown players will be counted on more than Washington first thought because of injuries.The Redskins wont have Junior Galette after the outside linebacker tore his right Achilles tendon, a rough development after he missed last season with a torn left Achilles tendon. Gruden said Galette was devastated but that the team will adjust, perhaps giving more responsibilities to young players such as Preston Smith, Houston Bates and Lynden Trail.For this football team, injuries are part of the game, Gruden said. We have to rebound. ... We still have some good pass rushers in here, and theyre going to have to produce.The Redskins could shift converted defensive lineman Trent Murphy back to outside linebacker, Gruden said, but thats not the plan for now.Its also not the plan to find outside help at running back behind Matt Jones, where Washington lacks any significant NFL experience. With Alfred Morris gone, Jones will shoulder the load, and the Redskins hope to get what they need from Chris Thompson, Mack Brown and seventh-round pick Keith Marshall.We have some guys in the building were going to look at, Gruden said. And if it doesnt work out, were always looking -- every position. The scouting staff have their eyeballs across the league and whos available. But hopefully we dont need to go that route, but if we do, there are going to be good players we can talk about.During his camp-opening news conference, Gruden praised the good players the organization is in the process of developing. One of those was safety Kyshoen Jarrett, but a shoulder injury and nerve damage from the season finale in Dallas led to his release on Monday.Gruden said the news never came out to be good enough on Jarrett and hopes he can function in normal life outside football.Game notes Gruden said guard Shawn Lauvao (torn ligaments in left ankle) is feeling well and hopes hell be able to practice at some point during training camp. ...

Rob Manfred, baseballs chief operating officer, testified last week during the grievance filed by the players union to overturn Rodriguezs 211-game suspension. A person familiar with the hearing, speaking on condition of anonymity, told The Associated Press on Saturday that Manfred testified the sport wasnt concerned whether Bosch distributed performance-enhancing drugs to minors because MLBs interest was his relationship with players under investigation. Washington State head coach Mike Leach didnt pull any punches when talking about his 0-2 team during his weekly session with the media Monday afternoon. Saying his team was immature and doesnt handle success, he spent several minutes talking about their deficiencies and his shortcomings as a coach to properly motivate them.Right now we have the atmosphere of a JC softball team, Leach said. Thats what we are, a JC softball team. Its not whether you win or lose, its the team that wins is the one that has the most fun. Crap like that thats contaminated America where they give every kid a trophy and they dont keep score in Little League anymore. I think that entire thing has retarded the competitive spirit of America. We need to keep that in mind as coaches and we need to aggressively reinforce our points.Washington State entered the year with considerable momentum following nine wins last season, when the Cougars capped 2015 with a bowl victory over Miami. Many considered them a fringe Top 25 team that could be a dark horse in the Pac-12 North. But theyve opened the year with back-to-back losses -- both by three points -- to Eastern Washington and Boise State.Menntally, [the players] overindulged whatever success we considered that we had last year, Leach said.ddddddddddddWe have this assumption that they know stuff. As coaches we need to be smart enough and disciplined enough to get that out of our heads. They dont know anything. We wouldnt be reteaching the same stuff if we could trust any level of retention. We cant.Among his other critiques:? Ive got receivers running routes that dont even resemble anything we teach.? We dont tuck the ball and go straight upfield. We do all of these stupid moves.? We run out of bounds more than any team in the country.? Were the easiest team in the country to tackle.? We dont like to run and hit, and this is a game for running and hitting. We dont care to do that.A school spokesman said no players would be available for comment for the rest of the week. Its Leachs policy that three players speak before him on Mondays and then access is closed until after the following game.The Cougars wrap up their nonconference schedule Saturday at home against Idaho.
