They also now have three first- and second-down backs with Adrian Peterson, Rob Kelley and Samaje Perine. Peterson’s age (33) and concern over his 16-game availability led to the Redskins’ keeping two backups for him, at least initially.
Trey Quinn will be the second rookie at wide receiver for Washington. He was one of eight draft picks (counting supplemental pick CB Adonis Alexander) to make the team. The only one who didn’t, RB Derrius Guice, is on injured reserve. Eight of the 10 2017 picks also made the 53. The only two who didn’t, WR Robert Davis and CB Josh Holsey, are out with injuries.
