Redskins Beat: 'More like a 60/40 split' between Matt Jones and Robert Kelley

Real Redskins

The bigger implication of Wednesday night at running back may be in the division of carries. It seems that the offseason plan has been to give Matt Jones the vast majority of the carries, upwards of 75 percent of them. But the way that Robert Kelley ran, and the way he ran throughout the entire preseason, may prompt Jay Gruden and company to call his number more often. Jones will still get most of the rushing attempts but it may be more like a 60/40 split with Kelley and maybe Chris Thompson getting the other carries.

Related players: Rob Kelley, Chris Thompson

Fantasy Impact: 

Kelley rushed 38 times for 198 yards (5.2 YPC) and a touchdown in the preseason. He was actually outrushed by Mack Brown (39 carries, 227 yards, 5.8 YPC, TD), though Tandler said that he doesn't see a spot for Brown on the roster. Regardless, Kelley's emergence will eat into Jones's carries, so he may not have the workload that we expected earlier in the offseason. Chris Thompson should serve as the team's primary back on third down.

Skins Beat: Injury to RB Keith Marshall may cost him roster spot

With running back Keith Marshall out for at least three weeks after suffering a sprained elbow and the roster cut looming, the Redskins’ coaches are going to have some tough decisions to make. Marshall’s hopes of making the team’s 53-man roster may fall victim to bad timing.

All NFL rosters must be cut to 53 players by Saturday. Matt Jones and Chris Thompson are locks to be two of the running backs. It looks like Robert Kelley, who took advantage of the opportunity that he had when Marshall went out against the Bills, is a strong favorite to claim a third spot.

Fantasy Impact: 

And beyond the three-week window, the Redskins have to be concerned about Marshall’s durability. He lasted until the seventh round in the draft due to his difficulties staying on the field when he was at Georgia. Marshall also wasn't stellar in practice nor did he stand out in preseason games, however the team may decide to put him on IR and keep him around to give him a try next year, the story said.

Skins RB Matt Jones (shoulder) continues to progress

On Tuesday, Redskins RB Matt Jones worked off to the side at Redskins practice with other injured players, rehabbing from the sprained AC joint in his left shoulder.

Interestingly, the work Jones put in with trainers seemed more focused on his legs than his shoulder, which Jones explained as a way to keep his legs strong when he's not taking reps with the first team offense. More importantly, Jones feels like his injury is moving along quickly.

"It's feeling pretty good. I'm moving fast in my healing process right now," Jones said. "I'm taking big strides."

Asked if his goal was to be back for the Redskins regular season opener against the Steelers on September 12, Jones replied "definitely."

Fantasy Impact: 

Jones has been shutdown from playing in preseason games. The story said his shoulder wasn't in a sling nor did he seem to be in discomfort. All good signs he should be ready for Week 1.

Redskins RB Matt Jones suffered an AC joint sprain in his left shoulder in the first quarter of last Friday’s preseason game against the Jets and didn’t return to the game. On Monday, coach Jay Gruden said that Jones will not play in either of the team’s two remaining preseason contest.

As for the regular season, Gruden said, via CSNMidAtlantic.com, that he has “high hopes” that Jones will be recovered in time to take the field against the Steelers on September 12.

Fantasy Impact: 

The team has been rumored to be looking for outside help and now that may especially be true with this news. Undrafted rookie Rob Kelley has run 10 times for 48 yards in the preseason and Gruden indicated he’ll get a look with the first team along with seventh-round pick Keith Marshall with third-down back Chris Thompson also on hand, the story said.
