An update on Landen Hatchett, and 14 other things to know about Day 5 of Washington camp
The Huskies' center is working his way back from injury, and a young receiver is getting a long look.
SEATTLE — It isn’t that Landen Hatchett can’t yet withstand contact, Brennan Carroll said. In fact, Hatchett said Monday that he’s working regularly with Zach Durfee, another potential starter recovering from surgery, on one-on-one battles and run fits.
“The thing we’ve held him out (of) is team situations,” said Carroll, the offensive coordinator and o-line coach, after Monday’s practice. “Where there’s a lot of bullets flying, multiple players, guys can get tangled up — things like that. That’s the only thing we’ve protected him from. He’s done everything else.”
It remains to be seen, though, when Hatchett, still rehabbing a December ACL tear, might switch from running resistance sprints on the sideline to snapping the ball to Will Rogers during 11-on-11 periods.
