If you were keeping track of how many times an injury has forced the Washington Redskins to make a last-minute roster adjustment in order to be fully prepared for a Sunday game, you might have lost count by now.
The Redskins made another minor roster move on Saturday morning, but it has a chance to play big dividends going forward. Wide receiver Cam Sims was signed off of the practice squad once again and released linebacker Tanner Vallejo, who was one of their better special teams players.
The move was made in order to bolster the WR depth, as starter Paul Richardson will miss Sunday’s game against the New York Jets. Earlier this week, coach Bill Callahan spoke on his desire to get all of the receivers more active in the Redskins’ offense, and he specifically mentioned Sims as a major piece in that.
Since the start of the 2018 season, Simas has made a few trips between the 53-man roster and the practice squad, but with Richardson out this time, he might have his best shot yet at making an impression and sticking on the team.
