The Washington Redskins continue to make roster moves on the eve of their Week 15 NFC East contest against the Philadelphia Eagles. The Redskins placed wideout Paul Richardson on the injured/reserve list and signed offensive tackle Timon Parris from their practice squad.

Richardson, 27, has been injured often during his two years with the Redskins after signing a five-year, $40 million contract in March of 2018. During his two-year stint in Washington, the former Colorado standout has played in only 17 out of a possible 32 regular-season games.

Last season, Richardson who was drafted by the Seattle Seahawks in the second round of the 2014 NFL Draft produced 20 receptions for 262 yards and two touchdowns in seven games. He started in four of those seven outings. This season, Richardson played in 10 games with six starts amassing 28 receptions for 245 yards and two touchdowns.

With the emergence of several younger receivers on the Redskins roster, it will be interesting to see if Richardson will be in the teams’ plans going forward.

Parris, 24, signed with the Redskins as an undrafted college free agent in April of 2018 but was released as a training camp casualty. The team signed Parris to their practice squad and elevated him to the active roster in December of last year. The former Stony Brook standout was released again after this year’s training camp in August and has been on the Redskins practice squad all season.
