Top Redskins pick Landry misses practice with paintball injury

[JoseA]

ASHBURN, Va. (AP) -- A paintball shot in the groin left rookie LaRon Landry unable to practice when the Washington Redskins opened their minicamp Friday.

The No. 6 overall pick in this year's draft was injured during a team-building outing Wednesday, when coach Joe Gibbs allowed the players to leave early at the end of the voluntary spring workouts. Some players went bowling or had lunch together, while many of the defensive players went to play paintball.

"I didn't know paintball was that dangerous," linebacker Marcus Washington said. "I hope it wasn't friendly fire."

Well, let's just say that this is a very silly injury. I always thought of Landry to be a hard nose, blue collar no-nonsense guy. But I guess not, lol. As long as he stays healthy and avoids stupid activities he should be just fine.
