Alfred Morris was the Redskins' third-down back in Sunday's win over the Eagles.

Morris replaced Evan Royster in the role, playing on 9-of-11 third downs. On four of those plays, he ran pass routes. "(Coach) told me he was going to give me an opportunity to do it, and I really am thankful because he's trying to help me become a complete back," Morris said. Although Alf ended up with just one catch, it's a promising sign for his overall value. The Redskins are committed to getting him on the field as much as possible. "If he can stay healthy and just keep on doing the things he's done, he will be a big-time back for a lot of years," Mike Shanahan said. "He's a special guy."

Alfred Morris rushed 20 times for 76 yards and added one reception for seven yards versus the Eagles in Week 11.

It wasn't his finest game. The rookie fumbled, was guilty of two false starts, and made an ill-advised jump cut for a loss on fourth-and-inches. He was luck to pad his numbers in garbage time. One promising sign was that Morris handled some third-down work that had previously gone to Evan Royster. Morris travels to Dallas for the Thanksgiving game in Week 12.

Morris missed five plays with the injury. "I came out because I didn't want to carry the ball and drop it," Morris explained. "With a stinger, you kind of go completely numb, and then it comes back. That's all it was." Morris practiced on Monday and is fully expected to start versus the Eagles in Week 11.

Following Sunday's loss to the Panthers, coach Mike Shanahan said the rest of the year will be about evaluating players for next season.

Realistically, the 3-6 Redskins aren't going to make the playoffs. But for Shanahan to essentially throw in the towel on this season seems strange. "Now you're playing to see who, obviously, is going to be on your football team for years to come," Shanahan said. "Now we get a chance to evaluate players and see where we're at." If the Redskins aren't simply going to play their best players, it's going to be hard to project roles on a weekly basis. The only ones we can really trust right now are Alfred Morris and Robert Griffin III.
