Redskins bench Kareem Moore, puts Donte Stallworth and Darrion Scott on roster – NFL News
A surprising development occurred on Tuesday when Washington Redskins released their safety Kareem Moore who was placed in the Physically Unable to Perform (PUP) list. The franchise have put wide receiver Donte Stallworth and defensive
lineman Darrion Scott on the roster after resigning them.
Owing to a knee injury, Moore did not play any game this season as well as failed to catch up with the preseason. He missed all the training sessions in the first six weeks of the regular season and joined the team last month in
the training camp where his performance was monitored by the coaches and the team management.
The 27-year-old was drafted by Redskins in the 2008 NFL Draft. He managed 64 tackles in the last season where he started 11 of 12 games. He has played a total of 40 games recording 115 tackles. However, the luck is not on his side
and since his commendable last year’s performance, he’s hardly entered the field.
Redskins coach Mike Shanahan was of the view that the team needs its best and active player on the roster.
“We’ve got to make a decision on putting our roster together,” Shanahan said. “We’re evaluating all the injuries right now and what we need to do to keep our best players.”
Meanwhile, wide receiver Donte Stallworth and defensive lineman Darrion Scott, who were released last month, have received a comeback call from the management. They will replace Leonard Hankerson and Kedric Golston who, at present,
are placed on injured reserved.
Stallworth has appeared in four games this season where he caught five passes for 46 yards. Scott, on the other hand, did not play any game this season.
Redskins continue to experiment this season, but have failed to secure results in their favours. The position of quarterback has also changed hands a few times with John Beck and Rex Grossman both playing as starters. Ironically,
the coach is satisfied with their performance.
Redskins have suffered six defeats this season and managed only three victories. Their poor statistics have placed them at the bottom of the National Football Conference East division.
