The Washington Redskins were dealt a blow last week when it was revealed that Niles Paul would be placed on injured reserve. Paul, a depth tight end and core special teams player, had suffered a shoulder injury and as a result, the Redskins had to prematurely end his season. However, the team could be getting a boost as Derek Carrier may return to the lineup soon.
Carrier is entering his second season as a member of the Redskins. In 2015, he made 11 starts for the team and served as the primary backup to Jordan Reed for most of the season.
