Redskins released TE Dominique Byrd.

It's a bad sign for Byrd that he can't stick on a team that is without their top two tight ends in Fred Davis (suspension) and Chris Cooley (knee). He lost his job to practice squad type Rob Myers. Tue, Dec 20, 2011 10:40:00 AM

Dominique Byrd - TE - Redskins

Redskins waived TE Dominique Byrd.

Byrd was fourth on the depth chart at tight end. His release is perhaps a sign that TE/FB Mike Sellers is over the worst of his back injury.

Dominique Byrd - TE - Redskins

Redskins signed TE Dominique Byrd.

Byrd takes the roster spot of Chris Cooley (knee/finger), who was placed on injured reserve Tuesday. He'll play behind Fred Davis and Logan Paulsen if active on Sundays.

Dominique Byrd - TE - Redskins

Seahawks waived TE Dominique Byrd.

Byrd actually managed to make seven catches for 85 yards and a touchdown during the preseason, but wasn't going to see a meaningful amount of snaps behind Zach Miller and Anthony McCoy. He's appeared in just one game since the end of the 2007 season.

Tue, Sep 13, 2011 08:36:00 PM

Dominique Byrd - TE - Redskins

Seahawks signed TE Dominique Byrd, FB A.J. Schable, and CB Brandon Browner to reserve/future contracts.

Byrd played for coach Pete Carroll at USC. Schable, a special teamer, is trying to make a comeback after being out of football since 2008. Browner emerged as an all-star in the CFL after going undrafted in 2005.

Dominique Byrd - TE - Redskins

Cardinals waived TE Dominique Byrd, OT Casey Knips, and C/G David Moosman.

The team did sign practice body receiver Isaiah Williams, so three more moves need to be made to get down to 75. Byrd fell behind late-round rookie Jim Dray at the bottom of Arizona's tight end depth chart, sealing his fate.

Dominique Byrd - TE - Redskins

Cardinals TE Dominique Byrd is working some in a fullback/H-back role at camp.

Blocking was never considered Byrd's strongsuit, so we doubt this will work out. Versatility, however, will increase Byrd's chances of making the team.

Dominique Byrd - TE - Redskins

Cardinals signed TE Dominique Byrd, FB Reagan Maui'a, CB Trumaine McBride, S Herana-Daze Jones, and DL Dean Muhtadi to reserve/futures contracts.

Byrd isn't without receiving skills, but he was unable to make an impact in half a season last year. He'll have to improve his blocking to win a roster spot.

Byrd surprisingly made the team out of training camp, but he had yet to see the active roster in 10 games this season.

Dominique Byrd - TE - Redskins

Cardinals signed TE Dominique Byrd, formerly of the Rams.

Byrd left USC in 2006 with a starting-caliber skill set, but bar brawled his way out of the league. He disfigured one man's face with a broken beer bottle in December 2006. He'll push Ben Patrick and Leonard Pope to make the club.

Dominique Byrd - TE - Redskins

Free agent TE Dominique Byrd will try out at upcoming Cardinals minicamp.

Byrd worked out at USC's Pro Day early this month. A third-round pick by the Rams in 2006, Byrd was knocked out of the league in '08 by off-field issues.

Dominique Byrd - TE - Redskins

Former Rams TE Dominique Byrd worked out for NFL teams at the USC Pro Day Wednesday.

Byrd, cut by St. Louis in Feb. 2008, had a string of off-field problems after being the club's third-round pick in 2006. No one will rush to sign him.

Dominique Byrd - TE - Redskins

The trial of former Rams tight end Dominique Byrd has been rescheduled for June 23 in St. Louis Circuit Court.

Byrd is facing charges of assault and armed criminal action stemming from a nightclub scuffle downtown in December 2006. The underachieving Byrd isn't going to find a welcoming market for his services.

Dominique Byrd - TE - Redskins

Rams waived TE Dominique Byrd.

A third-round pick out of USC in 2006, Byrd could not get on the field behind Joe Klopfenstein, Randy McMichael, and Aaron Walker. He was also arrested in 2006 for striking a man in the face with a broken bottle at a bar, DUI in 2007, and was deactivated for the Rams' finale last season for missing a meeting. Byrd may not get another chance.

Depth Charts

Skill Players
Pos	Role	Name
QB	1	Robert Griffin III Sidelined Robert Griffin III (knee) was throwing passes as the Redskins opened OTAs Thursday. Griffin worked off to the side with other Redskins rehabbing from surgery. He dropped back, planted his leg and didn't appear to have any trouble moving or throwing. For a player not even five months removed from reconstructive surgery, it's impressive. All the whispers that Griffin is ahead of schedule appear to have merit. May 23
	2	Kirk Cousins
	3	Rex Grossman
	4	Pat White
RB	1	Alfred Morris
	2	Evan Royster
	3	Roy Helu Sidelined CSN Washington believes Roy Helu and No. 154 pick RB Chris Thompson are competing for the same roster spot. The same is true of Evan Royster and No. 228 pick Jawan Jamison. Thompson and Helu are both change-of-pace type runners, while Royster and Jamison rely more on vision and power. Jamison is the longest shot of the four, but Helu's roster spot will very much be in danger if he doesn't report to camp 100 percent healthy and stay 100 percent healthy. May 19
	4	Chris Thompson Sidelined Redskins agreed to terms with No. 154 overall pick RB Chris Thompson on a four-year contract. Recovering from an October ACL tear, Thompson is questionable for the beginning of training camp. Thompson is a thimble of a football player at 5-foot-7, 192 pounds, but coach Mike Shanahan believes he would have been a first- or second-round pick if not for his injury. That's because of his electric speed. Thompson could eventually make noise as a scat/third-down back, but will most likely be "redshirted" this season. May 15
	5	Jawan Jamison
GLB	1	Alfred Morris
	2	Evan Royster
3RB	1	Alfred Morris
	2	Evan Royster
FB	1	Darrel Young
	2	Dorson Boyce I.L. Redskins FB Dorson Boyce (shoulder) could be cleared for contact this week. Boyce tore his labrum in the preseason finale last year. The 24-year-old rushed ten times for 44 yards in exhibition action last season. He could compete for a special teams role or a spot on the practice squad. Apr 20
	3	Eric Kettani
WR1	1	Pierre Garcon Sidelined Pierre Garcon (foot) isn't sure if he'll be 100 percent healthy for 2013. "I’ll be healthy enough to play," Garcon said Thursday on NFL Network. "I can’t say I’ll be 100 percent, but I’ll be back out there helping the team in any way possible." Garcon isn't sure if he'll go full steam during OTAs. Garcon played through the injury in 2012, but it's a concern he's already resigned to the possibility of playing at less than 100 percent for the second consecutive season. Garcon could eventually require surgery, but has thus far avoided it because there's no guarantee it will correct the issue. Apr 12
	2	Santana Moss
	3	Aldrick Robinson
	4	Skye Dawson
	5	Chip Reeves
WR2	1	Josh Morgan Sidelined Josh Morgan had ligaments in each of his hands repaired after the season. Tack this issue on top of ongoing concerns surrounding Morgan's right leg issues. After appearing to lack burst last season, he had surgery to remove a plate and seven screws from his right ankle in January. Morgan may not be ready for OTAs. Feb 27
	2	Leonard Hankerson
	3	Dezmon Briscoe
	4	Nick Williams
	5	Lance Lewis
WR3	1	Santana Moss
TE	1	Fred Davis Sidelined Fred Davis (Achilles') was catching passes and running routes as the Redskins opened OTAs Thursday. Like Robert Griffin III (knee), Davis was not in uniform and worked off to the side. It's still encouraging to see him pivoting and moving well seven months after blowing out his heel. Beat writer Chris Russell said Davis "looks better than I thought." The pass-catching tight end says he's at 90 percent now and expects to be 100 percent by June's minicamps. May 23
	2	Logan Paulsen
	3	Jordan Reed Sidelined Redskins third-round TE Jordan Reed did not participate in rookie minicamp due to a bone bruise in his knee and a pulled quad. Reed, the 85th pick in the draft, pulled a quad, which resulted in knee soreness. The Redskins are "hopeful" he'll be able to get back to action in a "couple weeks." Washington starts OTAs on May 20, and Reed should be on the field. May 5
	4	Niles Paul
	5	Deangelo Peterson
K	1	Kai Forbath
