He added there is a balance this week of trying to get healthy, but also cramming on how to defend Washington’s offense.
“We came in this morning and got treatment and things like that … ice tubs. Just the normal stuff, honestly,” Kendricks said. “You just have to try and maximize the time you have between film study and getting your body right.
“That’s the thing … we don’t know what we’re going to see,” Kendricks added. “We’re going to meetings in a second, and we have to start honing in and erase everything we processed last night. We have to start fresh, start new. Learn a whole new offense in a really condensed time.”
While the players mentioned above have endured the rigors of playing two games in less than a week, there are 11 rookies on the roster who are experiencing it for the first time.
Tight end Irv Smith, Jr. said he’s leaning on veterans to help him feel fresh for Thursday’s primetime game against Washington.
“This is the quickest turnaround for sure, but I just try to talk to the older guys, see what they’ve done to be successful with a short week like this,” said Smith, Jr., who turned 21 in August. “My legs are a little fresher than guys who have been in the league 10-plus years. But I still try to take care of my body like a pro.”
