Redskins work out journeyman quarterback Connor Cook

The Washington Redskins have commonly carried four quarterbacks during training camp and preseason. It helps to have a fourth quarterback to throw to reserve players, and it helps to divvy up reps when coaches want to take higher-level players off the field and keep them healthy.

On Thursday, former AAF standout Josh Woodrum was that fourth quarterback, cleaning up in the fourth quarter as the Redskins fell to the Cleveland Browns, and playing with the reserves. Woodrum ultimately lost the role, however, when he was sacked, and had his pectoral muscle torn.
