Sean Taylor has joined the Redskins for the second week of OTAs.
Taylor was at Redskins Park on Tuesday morning working out with teammates and attending meetings. He participated in the team’s afternoon practice session.
"Every year I’m trying to show up here more and more," he said after practice. "It helps the team. The last couple of years I’ve been kind of busy with certain issues. I finally have those in the past and I’m working on getting ahead."
Added Taylor: "I was excited to see everybody. We’re a close family. Even guys that can’t participate [due to injury] are watching from the sidelines."
Taylor did not participate in the first week of OTAs, which began on May 8.
OTA attendance is not mandatory for players. However, Redskins coaches always encourage players to attend, stressing that this is when packages are implemented.
The Redskins’ OTA practice sessions run from Tuesday to Thursday into June. It leads up to the Redskins’ June 15-17 mini-camp.
Taylor is entering his fourth NFL season as the Redskins’ starting safety. The Redskins drafted him in the first round of the 2004 NFL Draft. He is coming off a season in which he earned a Pro Bowl berth as an alternate.
Taylor started 16 games last season and led the defense in tackles with 129 (89 solo). He also logged one interception, three forced fumbles and 17 special teams tackles.
