We told you yesterday that the Redskins were without LaRon Landry and Shawn Springs at Monday’s OTAs but we didn’t tell you that Santana Moss also missed the practice.

The official reason given was that Moss had the flu but he came clean on Tuesday to the Washington Post. He was sick but it was because he spent the whole weekend celebrating his birthday, it was on Sunday, and the body takes a little bit longer to recover at 29 than it does at 19. “I told them you think you’re still young and you can still hold up, but they all know what time it was. Have to chalk it up and be ready the next day,” Moss said.

As for the non-party related absences, Landry showed up today and said he was taking care of family matters. He practiced with the first team. Springs was absent again, however. Despite reports that it was simply a missed flight that caused his absence, it seems likely that the Skins won’t see him until training camp.

Moss spent the practice catching bombs from Jim Zorn who, based on the above and the Fred Davis situation, is clearly running a looser camp than his predecessor.
