The gap left by Keith Marshall‘s injury has promptly been filled. The newest member of the Redskins is former LSU running back Kenny Hilliard, per Master Tesfatsion of the Washington Post.
The Washington Redskins had reportedly scheduled a workout with former Miami running back Joe Yearby. But that workout apparently wasn’t good enough to warrant a contract, and as a result, the Redskins looked elsewhere for their replacement back. In the end, they decided on Kenny Hilliard. Also per Master Tesfatsion’s twitter feed, a factor that likely went into the signing is the fact that Hilliard is the younger cousin of Redskins receivers coach Ike Hilliard.
