IrepDC Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 What's the difference between the reserve/injured list and the injured reserve? Does that mean Hankerson is done for the year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RonArtest15 Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 Does this mean Josh Morgan isn't seeing the field again? If so, I'm all for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlvinWaltonIsMyBoy Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 Lewis was an absolute stud at ECU. Catches everything. Not a burner, but let's hope he can find ways to get open, because his ball skills are nice. Welcome to the NFL, sir. Good luck to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wysknz1 Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 Is it my imagination or have the Redskins made fewer moves than any other team this year? Granted I'm way out here, but it just seems like they've pretty much stayed with what they started with. Which according to their record doesn't show much. I would think they'd be trying something. Is it just a lack of anyone out there that could help? Or what? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
