Roster battle: Assessing the competition among Redskins running backs thru two preseason games

The Redskins are holding running back tryouts in Asburn today because things are getting a little thin following a number of injuries, both major and minor.

In addition to the running back losses we already knew about, Jay Gruden added another name to the list at his Saturday post-practice press conference.

I haven’t seen a full list of names for who would be trying out today — Gruden was being a bit coy in the press conference when asked — but there’s at least one familiar name:

Free agent running back Orleans Darkwa will be among those participating in a tryout at Redskins Park Sunday, a source said.
