Today the Redskins waived running back and former MVP Shaun Alexander just more than a month after they brought him to the team. Alexander, 31, was added by Washington in mid-October, after being waived by Seattle in the offseason, to serve as a backup to Clinton Portis. Alexander
played in four games, rushing 11 times for 24 yards and catching one pass. He did not play in Sunday’s contest against the Seahawks. To fill the roster spot, the Redskins signed defensive tackle Ryan Boschetti.
