Cary Williams confident he can pick up Redskins' defensive scheme on short notice

ASHBURN — It seems as if every other week, the Washington Redskins are looking for a player that has enough experience under his belt that he won’t falter when called on at a moment’s notice.

That’s the way it goes when 15 players end up on injured reserve in one season— the latest being rookie defensive back Kyshoen Jarrett who sustained a neck injury last week against the Dallas Cowboys.

Quickly needing depth for Sunday’s wild-card round game against the Green Bay Packers, the Redskins turned to eighth-year cornerback Cary Williams, who was cut by the Seattle Seahawks a month ago.
