Crowder (ankle) went through individual drills in pads Wednesday, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.

Limited to rehab work the past few weeks, Crowder finally seems to be taking a major step forward as the Redskins prepare for a crucial game against the Eagles in Week 13. With the divisional battle taking place Monday night, the Redskins won't reveal their first injury report of the week until Thursday. It sounds like he's headed for a "limited" tag, which would mark his first participation in practice of any kind since Nov. 9. Crowder hasn't played in a game since injuring his ankle in a Week 5 loss to the Saints.
