In 2017, the Washington Redskins were forced to use nine different running backs thanks to a rash of injuries that occurred at the position. One of them was Byron Marshall. The former Eagle was brought in as depth, but he endeared himself to Jay Gruden and the coaching staff in his limited time with the squad. They liked his return ability and also his combination of running talent and receiving ability, so they kept him on the team in 2018.
Marshall spent the first part of last season on Injured Reserve before returning late in the year.
