Redskins NT Chris Neild (ACL surgery) is practicing in full at OTAs.
Neild, a 2011 seventh-round pick, tore his ACL last August and missed all of last season. He appeared in 16 games as a rookie backup and racked up ten tackles and two sacks. Neild will compete for a roster spot this summer.

Redskins NT Chris Neild is out for the season after tearing his left ACL in Monday's practice.
The second-to-last pick in the 2011 draft, Neild recorded 10 tackles in 16 games as a backup nose tackle last season. He'll have to battle for a roster spot next summer.

Redskins DC Jim Haslett says rookie NT Chris Neild will see snaps on Sunday.
The second-to-last pick of the draft, Neild surprisingly beat out Anthony Bryant for the Redskins' backup nose tackle job. "We thought he had a lot of upside," Haslett said. "He plays with a lot of power. He looks and plays the part of a nose." Haslett likes to rotate his nose tackles, so Neild could end up spelling Barry Cofield often if his strong preseason carries over to Sundays.
