Redskins' Bashaud Breeland had a bad day

Ever have one of those days?

Redskins cornerback Bashaud Breeland did -- two of them, actually.

He was told by the NFL on Thursday that he would miss one game this coming season for his violation of their substance abuse policy relating to a marijuana arrest in August 2014.

Pot is illegal still in the national game, so Breeland will sit the Redskins' season-opener against the Miami Dolphins on Sept. 13 for his sins before being allowed to join the team the next day.

Then, on Friday, he tripped and fell.

Rather easily. His knee collapsed beneath him on a cut against a receiver on the team's second day of training camp practice in Richmond, Va. He was carted off the field after the non-contact injury.

As of Friday evening, there has been no announcement about the extent of his injury or how long he'll miss action.

A rookie last season out of Clemson, Breeland started 15 games, recording 69 tackles and two interceptions for Washington. He looks to be a feature this coming year in their defensive secondary that looks to be improved from a poor showing against the pass in 2014.

"He's going to learn from this," Redskins head coach Jay Gruden said after the announcement of his suspension.
