Keith Marshall Out 3 Weeks

With a Sprained Elbow

Does injury doom Marshall's chances of making the Redskins' roster?

He should not make the roster. Kelley has earned the third spot. Even if we keep four I would rather have Mack Brown right now or sign P. Thomas.

 

[countryroads316]

no to Mack Brown and Pierre Thomas we need to hope someone good gets cut

 

[skinsdad62]

I would IR him

 

[Ruzious]

Give him a small injury settlement and be done with him. Guy who gets injured on the first carry of his big chance to show what he's got... sorry, I don't care how fast he runs on a track.

 

[skinsdad62]

No need to do that , IR him see if he develops

People are way to quick to cut people because of injury when there are better options to keep the control of a talented player.

I think this is the best thing for him, it allows them to IR him and he gets paid and hopefully develops. But let's be honest, he showed notthing to earn a roster spot. We all jumped on board because he is fast and was really good in high school. But this is the big boy league and you need more than straight line speed.

He did show something - that he doesn't know how to take contact. I'm sure he'd be good in touch football. Some players just don't know how to take contact. When you're a running back who doesn't know how to take contact... that's an issue. Frankly, a year on IR almost certainly won't change anything - but that's up to Gruden and Scot.

All I really saw was a few plays where he ran really fast through a big hole. I do not remember him making the precise cuts at the right time, a critical instinct that good backs have. And I saw the problem you described which I guess is why he was available in round 7

 

[countryroads316]

He has been placed on IR

i will point out that thompson was injury prone for a couple of years and he turned in a pretty decent year last year . give the 7th round pick time to heal and learn
