Matt Jones fifth-string on Redskins' RB depth chart

Matt Jones is buried so far down the Washington Redskins' depth chart he doesn't see the point in participating in organized team activities.

NFL Network's Michael Silver reported Thursday that Jones has been told by coach Jay Gruden he is the team's No. 5 running back, thus is staying away from OTAs.

The Reskins' roster lists six running backs: Rob Kelley, Samaje Perine, Chris Thompson, Mack Brown, Jones and Keith Marshall.

Perine, a fourth-round rookie, will battle Kelley for first- and second-down snaps while Thompson takes the third-down duties.
