The Washington Redskins' three-headed rushing attack of Alfred Morris, Matt Jones and Chris Thompson had been whittled down to just one by the end of the loss to the New York Jets on Sunday. Jones sat out the game with a sprained big toe, and Thompson bruised his lower back during the game.
To provide insurance, the Redskins signed undrafted free agent Mack Brown, who had been with the team in training camp, to the practice squad on Tuesday. It was especially hard to spot the newcomer in the locker room — and not because he doesn't have an engraved nameplate on his stall just yet.
