Former University of Hawaii quarterback Colt Brennan, a sixth-round selection of the Washington Redskins, was on the field today as the team opened mini camp, but didn't take part in any drills as he continues to recover from hip surgery.

"We're going to hold him out now," new head coach Jim Zorn said. "He's not ready. He's antsy. We had to tell him four or five times, 'You're not throwing today."'

Three other players were unable to participate because of injuries. CB Carlos Rogers and LB Rocky McIntosh are recovering from major knee surgeries, while TE Tyler Ecker again has a pulled groin. Ecker missed all of last season with a groin injury.
