Josh Norman hasn’t seen his name leave the headlines lately largely because a Washington Redskins coaching staff with an eye on the future has decided to sweep him aside for younger players.
And Norman missed practice Thursday, a day removed from interim head coach Bill Callahan making it clear there is a reason for Norman being active lately but not getting any snaps.
But that reason isn’t what one would expect.
Per reporters on the scene, Redskins coaches told the media Norman missed because he is sick and classified him as day-to-day.
Here’s one such report from Les Carpenter of the Washington Post:
Bill Callahan said that Josh Norman was ill today which is why Norman – who has been benched – was not at practice.

We’ll see if Norman can get healthy in time to be active for Sunday’s game so he can work in some of those subpackages. But one Friday practice stands between the Redskins and the game against Philadelphia.
