Byron Marshall Receives Five Carries On Thursday
5 years agoWashington Redskins running back Byron Marshall carried the ball five times on Thursday against the Browns, collecting 17 yards for his trouble. He was only slightly more effective than Samaje Perine, who is also vying for a reserve role in the Redskins backfield behind incumbent workhorse Adrian Peterson and second-year prospect Derrius Guice. Neither Peterson nor Guice were featured in the preseason opener, so keep an eye on what the Redskins do at running back in their second game, when both figure to suit up and at least get some game reps in. If Marshall sees the bulk of the work behind them, it could mean Perine is on the outside looking in. Either way, Marshall should not be seriously considered for fantasy rosters at this juncture.
