That need came to light when the Washington Redskins initial fourth quarterback, Josh Woodrum, went down with a chest injury in the fourth quarter of the team’s preseason debut against the Cleveland Browns.
Later on, an MRI revealed that Woodrum had torn his pectoral muscle, and that his 2019 season was over. The Redskins consequently needed a quarterback to take over reserve reps and throw to the roster hopefuls in the absence of the top three signal callers. They worked out Michigan State product and former Radiers quarterback Connor Cook yesterday, and with him, they also worked out Jalan McClendon, a signal caller out of Baylor.
