Practice Squad (10)

DL Ryan Bee, OT Timon Parris, S JoJo McIntosh, TE Donald Parham, WR Robert Davis, CB Danny Johnson, LB BJ Blunt, C Casey Dunn, WR Steven Sims Jr., OL Tyler Catalina

I like a lot of the players on the practice squad, but I just couldn’t find a spot for them on the roster. Of this group, Bee and Parris have made previous roster projections of mine, so I opted to keep them. Bee’s 6-foot-7 frame gives him developmental potential while Parris could challenge for the fourth offensive tackle spot on this team. He could have a legitimate shot to unseat Robinson and Flowers, but we’ll wait until the preseason before making that call.

The receiving weapons are solid as well. Parham (6-foot-8) has great size and could become a red-zone weapon. He’s just raw after playing at Division II Stetson. Davis is a great athlete with a 6-foot-3 frame. He’s the seventh receiver in this scenario and just gets squeezed out. But if he can continue to improve, he could be promoted. Meanwhile, Sims Jr. has been solid in camp so far and has upside as a slot receiver.

Dunn and Catalina were mentioned in the offensive linemen slides, and I ultimately decided to keep them. If Flowers continues to be a sieve, they could challenge Parris for a spot on the team. And either way, the team should keep some extra offensive linemen around after all the injuries they had last year.

Finally, Johnson, Blunt, and McIntosh all make it because of their upside in the back seven. Johnson provides depth as a return man and potential nickel. Blunt is a work in progress at inside linebacker, but he is tenacious and will play hard. And McIntosh is a solid, all-around safety who may be a jack-of-all-trades type with some development. Given how thin they are at safety, he seems like a practice squad shoo-in if he doesn’t make the active roster.

Overall, this is a solid roster for the Redskins. It still has some weaknesses, but they aren’t likely to find major patches for their holes in the coming weeks. Hopefully, some young guys at receiver, safety, and offensive tackle step up. If not, the team may be thin at those three positions.
