Jim Zorn has the entire day mapped out, from the special teams meetings first thing in the morning to the evaluation sessions with his assistants after the second practice is over.

Somewhere in between, he'll say hello.

Zorn, a first-time head coach, will run his first practices today as the Washington Redskins open a three-day minicamp. Although Zorn has met nearly all of the players the past few weeks, he will have the entire roster assembled before him for the first time since he was hired to replace Joe Gibbs in February.

What will he say? Don't expect a speech for the ages.

"I just have little outlines," said Zorn, who turns 55 this month. "I just want to go through some of the basic stuff. I don't think I'm going to have a lot of time -- because we're on a tight schedule -- for me to do a song and dance or anything like that. We've got to get going, so I'm going to establish some of the expectations, what we expect in meetings, what tempos we practice at. And I'm going to introduce the coaches, because a lot of these guys haven't met the whole coaching staff, either.

"So we don't have time for me to talk about how I want to win a championship. Hopefully, some of that stuff will be obvious."

Zorn has been living life in fast-forward since he became owner Dan Snyder's surprise choice to replace Gibbs after he first was chosen as offensive coordinator.

Zorn said he doesn't expect any jitters today. Those might come in September, when there are games to be played that count in the standings.

"I'm not nervous. It'll really be just more excitement," said Zorn, who plans to spend most of his time during practice tutoring Jason Campbell and the other quarterbacks. "I have veteran coaches. It's not like I've come to a staff of rookie coaches who don't know what they're doing. ... I'm letting the coaches coach their positions."

A woman has accused linebacker Ahmad Brooks of punching her in the face last month in Florence, Ky. Brooks was ordered to appear June 6 in Boone District Court on a complaint filed this week by Destiny Rosich. Based on the complaint, prosecutors charged Brooks with fourth-degree assault, a misdemeanor that carries up to a year in prison.

Detroit signed free-agent running back Artose Pinner to a one-year deal, reacquiring a player they drafted in 2003. Pinner, a 5-foot-10, 232-pounder, rejoins the Lions entering his sixth NFL season.
