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.
