Redskins want Rob Kelley more involved, but red zone remains biggest issue

ASHBURN, Va. -- The Washington Redskins want Rob Kelley to be a bigger factor down the stretch, certainly more than he’s been in the last two games.

Kelley is coming off a 14-carry, 63-yard game in Sunday’s loss to Arizona. That’s not the ideal number of carries for coach Jay Gruden’s liking. It didn’t stem from needing to throw to catch up; rather, the Redskins attempted passes on nine of their first 10 plays in the 31-23 loss.

In Kelley’s first three starts, he rushed for 87, 97 and 137 yards.
