Redskins OLB Brian Orakpo is aiming to be Defensive Player of the Year in 2013.

Coach Mike Shanahan said OLB Brian Orakpo (pectoral) "looks as good as ever."

Orakpo tore his pectoral in Week 2 last season, landing on injured reserve. He's now 100 percent. "He's had no setback at all," Shanahan said. "He's been going full speed over the last four weeks. He looks as good as ever. Right now, you can tell it's completely healed and we'll keep our fingers crossed that there's no setback." Orakpo has 30 sacks in his first 49 NFL games.

Going into the final year of his rookie contract, Redskins OLB Brian Orakpo says the sides have yet to discuss an extension.

This, after CBS Sports' Jason La Canfora reported in February that the Redskins would make "every effort" to lock Orakpo up this offseason. The No. 13 pick of the 2009 draft, Orakpo has been a stalwart pass-rusher, but the Redskins have to be a bit leery of a high-dollar, long-term commitment after Orakpo tore his left pectoral twice in as many years. Orakpo has insisted he's 100 percent after missing all but two games last season, and said he's not having any "aches and pains."

Redskins OLB Brian Orakpo says he's "100-percent" recovered from the torn pectoral muscle that cut short his 2012 season.

Orakpo originally injured his left shoulder/pectoral muscle in the 2011 season finale. He tweaked the injury during the 2012 preseason, then suffered a tear in a different part of the muscle while sacking Rams quarterback Sam Bradford in Week 2. Orakpo graded out as the No. 7 outside linebacker at Pro Football Focus for 2011.

Redskins OLB Brian Orakpo (pectoral) resumed lifting weights before the end of the season, and feels "confident" he'll be healthy "well before" training camp.

Orakpo has had over four whole months to heal up, and should be 100 percent for camp and the preseason even though he's torn the same muscle twice in the past 14 months. Orakpo is going into the final year of his rookie deal, and CBS' Jason La Canfora expects the Redskins to make "every effort" to sign him long-term. Orakpo has 29.5 sacks in 49 career games.

CBS' Jason La Canfora expects the Redskins to make "every effort" to sign OLB Brian Orakpo to a long-term extension this offseason.

Orakpo is entering the final year of his rookie contract, but is coming off his second pectoral tear in as many seasons. Orakpo's production - 29.5 sacks in 49 career games - warrants an extension, but his health could inspire the Redskins to roll the dice and put off long-term talks for another year. Orakpo's sub-$4 million cap number could be another reason the cap-strapped Redskins delay talks. Orakpo has reason to wait, as well, as any extension agreed to this offseason would surely be of the "team friendly" variety. The Redskins could always use the franchise tag on Orakpo if they fail to lock him up and he returns to form in 2013.

Redskins placed OLB Brian Orakpo (pectoral) on injured reserve, ending his season.

Redskins OLB Brian Orakpo has re-torn his left pectoral, and is out for the season.

Coupled with LE Adam Carriker's season-ending quad injury, it's a massive blow for the Redskins' pass rush, and comes as a major surprise after most early reports pegged Orakpo as week-to-week. It's the culmination of nine months of shaky rehab, as Orakpo never appeared to make it all the way back to 100 percent after originally tearing his pec in Week 17 last season. A defense that was 13th in the league in sacks last season is now going to have major issues establishing and maintaining a pass rush. The only silver lining is that Orakpo - who's notched at least nine sacks each of the past three years - should be 100 percent for next summer's camp. Rob Jackson and Chris Wilson are expected to split snaps in his absence.

Redskins OLB Brian Orakpo is expected to miss "at least one game" after aggravating his pectoral injury in Sunday's loss.

Redskins OLB Brian Orakpo re-injured his pectoral injury during Sunday's loss to the Rams.

Orakpo tried to play through it, but couldn't. It's an aggravation of the pectoral injury he sustained in Week 17 last season. That tear needed surgery. "It just ripped on me, man," said Orakpo. "Same injury as before. Its just frustrating, man."
