The Washington Redskins are adding to their stable of running backs, agreeing to a two-year contract with RB J.D. McKissic, according to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero.
McKissic will join the likes of Derrius Guice, Adrian Peterson, and Bryce Love, should he be healthy in time for the 2020 season.
It does not come as a big surprise that the Redskins are adding depth to their RB room, as Guice has struggled to stay healthy throughout his young career, and Peterson is likely to reach the end of his time in the NFL soon. The Redskins drafted Love in 2019, a player who is expected to be a dynamic playmaker when healthy, but he is still recovering from a torn ACL suffered in college.
McKissic was drafted by the Seattle Seahawks in 2016, but played all 16 games for the Detroit Lions in 2019.
