1. In the wake of DeSean Jackson’s hamstring injury and Andre Roberts being inactive for the first time in his Redskins career, the team has been pleased with what the younger wide receivers have shown.
Second-year draft pick Ryan Grant and rookie Jamison Crowder took the places of Jackson and Roberts in the lineup during Sunday’s 23-20 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles, combining to record 12 receptions for 110 yards.
While Grant has been in Jackson’s spot since the moment he went down with a hamstring injury Week 1, Crowder officially supplanted Roberts in the slot receiver role.
