The Washington Redskins filled their final roster spot, finding another running back to replace the one they had cut last week.
Washington signed undrafted free-agent running back Mack Brown, a college teammate of third-round choice Matt Jones at Florida. In fact, Brown relieved Jones, out with a viral infection, in the 2013 opener and rushed for 112 yards on 25 carries against Toledo.
But Brown was never more than a backup at Florida, where he carried 22 times for 95 yards last season. In 2013, he carried 148 times for 543 yards and the only four touchdowns of his college career. He caught 18 passes for 78 yards in his Gators career.
The Redskins released running back Michael Hill last week. It’ll be difficult for Brown to win a job with Jones, Alfred Morris, Silas Redd, Chris Thompson and Trey Williams ahead of him.
Washington reports to camp Wednesday, with the first practice the following day.
