Fast-forward to today, and the Washington Redskins have been forced to turn to the free agent market to bolster a dangerously thin position group.
Things happen fast in the NFL.
After waiving Martez Carter earlier today, Washington is down to just two healthy running backs: Robert Kelley and Kapri Bibbs. Samaje Perine and Byron Marshall both have at least a week or two to heal from respective injuries sustained in their Week 2 preseason contest. The Redskins once had five competent backs. Now, they’re bringing in an outside hire for a tryout: Former New York Giants running back Orleans Darkwa.
