Redskins signed DE Phillip Merling, NT Chigbo Anunoby, DL Dom Hamilton, FB Eric Kettani, CB Korey Lindsey, and TE Deangelo Peterson to reserve/future contracts.

Merling is the headliner as the 32nd overall pick in the 2008 draft. He was a colossal bust in Miami, compiling just 66 tackles and 3.5 sacks in four years. Merling landed in Green Bay last spring, but lasted just three games before being released. Jan 8 - 4:34 PM

Skill Players
Pos	Role	Name
QB	1	Robert Griffin III Sidelined When Robert Griffin III (ACL, LCL surgery) walks without a brace, he does not limp. RG3 was spotted limping slightly after some minicamp practices, but it appears that was due to a bulky brace. He raced rookie tight end Jordan Reed last week and won, confirming his long speed has returned. Reed ran a respectable 4.72 forty at the Combine. By all accounts, Griffin is ahead of schedule in his rehab. Jun 18

	4	Pat White
RB	1	Alfred Morris

	3	Roy Helu Sidelined Roy Helu (Achilles', toe) expects to be a full participant in next week's minicamp. Helu made it through two days of OTAs without incident this week, and finally appears healthy enough to fight for a roster spot. With Helu, there's always the possibility of a setback, but he should be 100 percent for camp as he tries to earn third-down duties. Jun 7
	4	Chris Thompson Sidelined Redskins rookie RB Chris Thompson (torn ACL) is "more than a month away" from receiving full clearance, but is tentatively expected to be ready for training camp. "It’s something I have to be patient with," Thompson said. "But I know my time will come." A pint-sized (5-foot-7, 192 pounds) scatback, Thompson will be in the mix for third-down duties as long as he's healthy come the preseason. Jun 5

WR1	1	Pierre Garcon Sidelined Pierre Garcon is planning to wear special shoes this season to help with the torn ligament in his right foot. Garcon has opted against surgery because there's no guarantee that it will completely solve his injury. Therefore, he's looking toward pain management. "I have to learn a lot about my foot and how I run and things like that with all these injuries, but it's getting better," he said. If anywhere near 100 percent, Garcon has monster upside as an explosive "X" receiver in the Shanahan & Son offense. We'll get a better look at his progress in training camp. Jun 6

TE	1	Fred Davis Sidelined Coach Mike Shanahan says Fred Davis (Achilles') will be held out of next week's minicamp. Shanahan "doesn't want" Davis to practice and instead wants to "use caution" and hold the tight end out until training camp, even though he could play in a game if he had to next week. There's no reason for the Redskins to rush Davis, but it's clear he's on track to be on the field in July. Jun 6
	2	Logan Paulsen
	3	Jordan Reed Sidelined Redskins third-round TE Jordan Reed (leg) has yet to practice at OTAs, and doesn't expect to be cleared for June's minicamp. Reed expects to be cleared in three weeks, which would have him just missing minicamp, but ready for training camp. "It’s going good," Reed said Thursday. "I’m getting stronger, getting my muscle back. That’s all I really need to do: get my muscle back and I’ll be all set." Reed could fight for targets as a rookie with Fred Davis coming back from a torn Achilles', but he's not off to a great start. May 31
