For years, it seemed the Washington Redskins were consistently one of the most injured teams in the league. In 2020, finally, it seemed like Washington caught a break. But, did they really?
With the hiring of Ron Rivera last offseason, there was significant turnover in the training staff, including the firing of former head athletic trainer Larry Hess. Hess had worked for the team for 17 years, and had close relationships with both Dan Snyder and Bruce Allen.
Rivera brought over his own head trainer, Ryan Vermillion, from Carolina, and augmented his staff with medical consultant Kevin Wilk, among others.
