Redskins Not Planning To Add Another Running Back
6 years agoWashington Redskins head coach Jay Gruden said the team isn't planning to add another running back after rookie Derrius Guice's (knee) season-ending injury. “We have guys here that can play. We drafted Derrius because he was the best player we thought at the time of the draft... not because we weren’t satisfied with the backs we have," Gruden said. That means that Rob Kelley and Samaje Perine will battle for early-down carries, with Chris Thompson in the third-down role. Kelley and Perine have battled injuries and inconsistency, so neither back is an attractive fantasy piece, but they will have opportunities.
