September 5th, 2009 11:16 PM by Judd Zulgad Defensive end Erasmus James, the second of the Vikings' two first-round picks in 2005, has been indefinitely suspended by the NFL, according to ProFootballTalk.com . James is not currently with an NFL team.

Though Washington Redskins Coach Jim Zorn expects all of his players to be healthy when training camp opens Thursday morning, he already knows there will be one noticeable absence.

Brian Orakpo, the team's first-round draft pick, remains unsigned and did not report to the team's practice facility Wednesday alongside his 79 teammates.

'As soon as it can get done -- and I'm hoping it's soon -- the better it's going to be for us and for him,' Zorn said.

The Redskins selected Orakpo with the 13th pick in the April draft, and he is one of 26 first-rounders who have yet to sign. Orakpo appears to be caught up in the contract gridlock, as agents wait on other first-round picks to sign to better gauge their own clients' value. Zorn said he doesn't expect Orakpo to be the first of the bunch to put his signature on a contract.
