Have We Seen the Last of Helu?
In the fourth round of the 2011 NFL draft, the Washington Redskins drafted running back Roy Helu from the University of Nebraska.

Redskins sign RB Ryan Grant, place RB Roy Helu Jr. on IR
The Redskins agreed to terms with free agent running back Ryan Grant today, according to various reports.

Mike Shanahan ‘mum’ on opening day starter at Running Back
This preseason alone, the Redskins have seen four different running backs — including one that’s no longer on the roster in Tim Hightower — receive carries at some point during a game.

The Redskins have placed running back Tashard Choice on waivers, Rick Maese of The Washington Post reports.

RB Ryan Torain out 7-10 days due to fractured left hand
Running back Ryan Torain, the presumed incumbent starter at the position heading into the 2010 position, suddenly doesn’t have such a stranglehold on said starting job anymore. First, the Redskins acquire Tim Hightower from the Cardinals to compete with Torain in camp, and now a fracture in his left hand will keep him out for […]
