OT Timon Parris

The Redskins did elect to keep nine players on the offensive line, but they kept only three offensive tackles. Donald Penn, Morgan Moses, and Geron Christian will handle the tackle duties unless Trent Williams surprisingly returns to the team.

There was some hope that Parris would be able to make the Redskins final roster. He was solid at times in the preseason and there was some hope that he could eventually develop into a swing tackle. However, the Redskins decided to part with him and reinforce the interior.

The Redskins kept draft picks Wes Martin (fourth round) and Ross Pierschbacher (fifth round) as backups on the interior line, but they also kept Tony Bergstrom on the team. The 33-year-old has been with the Redskins for a couple of seasons and despite a mediocre-at-best preseason, he is likely to serve as the backup center while Pierschbacher develops.

Bergstrom’s inclusion on the roster took away any chance of Parris potentially making the roster. But the Stony Brook product should have a chance to develop on the practice squad and could be called up early if the team needs tackle depth. But no matter how you look at it, the Redskins, are going to be thin on the offensive line, so keeping Parris around given his experience with the team makes sense.
