Rookie Robert Kelley has carried the ball only 17 times this season, but the Redskins are confident in the Tulane product should he have to play more in the event Matt Jones is unable to suit up.
If second-year running back Matt Jones (knee) is unable to play this Sunday against the Cincinnati Bengals, the Washington Redskins will turn to rookie Robert Kelley “in the lead role” in the backfield with Chis Thompson complementing him.
Jones did not practice on Wednesday with “some soreness” when he tried to move laterally and make certain cuts.
