LOUDOUN COUNTY, Va. – After the Washington Redskins finalized their initial 53-man roster on Saturday, they used Sunday to add players to the practice squad and claim players off the waiver wire.
Their new addition to the running back group will feel right at home Week 1, when the team faces the Philadelphia Eagles at Lincoln Financial Field.
Washington claimed former Eagles running back Wendell Smallwood, a fifth-round pick in the 2016 draft. To make room for the new addition, the Redskins waived running back Byron Marshall.
