Marshall (knee) was waived Wednesday after agreeing to an injury settlement with the Cardinals, John Keim of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Marshall showed promise in practice at times, but the runner has spent the past two seasons on injured reserve. There's no timeline for when he's expected to be healthy again.

Marshall (knee) didn't participate in mandatory minicamp, Kareem Copeland of The Washington Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
Marshall went down early in training camp last year with a torn patella tendon, one of the worst possible injuries for a football player. He lit up the 2016 combine with a 4.31 40-yard dash at 219 pounds, but the sixth-round pick struggled to stay healthy in college and hasn't fared any better in the NFL. His last productive season was his freshman campaign at Georgia in 2012. Even if he eventually gets healthy, Marshall will be an extreme long shot to make the 53-man roster among a deep group of running backs in Washington.

Marshall (knee) was placed on injured reserve Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
This marks the second time in as many years that Marshall has landed on IR before the regular season began. He tore his patella tendon and was waived on Monday. Now that he's cleared waivers he'll be able to remain with the Redskins as he recovers and looks towards next year.

Marshall (knee) was released by the Redskins with an injury designation Monday, Stephen Czarda of Redskins.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Marshall, a seventh-round pick in 2016, has seen his first two NFL seasons derailed by injuries. Last year, the speedster missed the entire campaign after suffering an elbow injury during the preseason. Following a subsequent return to health, Marshall was reportedly doing well prior to suffering a season-ending torn right patella tendon in practice over the weekend. In a roster move corresponding to Marshall's release, the Redskins signed fellow running back Kenny Hilliard.

Marshall has been diagnosed with a torn right patella tendon and will miss the rest of the season, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
It's another tough blow for Marshall, who also missed his rookie season with an elbow injury. He'll start the long road to recovery and should be placed on injured reserve shortly if the Redskins don't end up waiving him with an injury settlement.

Marshall was carted off the field with an apparent right knee injury during Saturday's practice, ESPN's John Keim reports.
EDGE Analysis
This is another incident in a string of bad injury luck for Marshall, who missed his rookie season with an elbow injury and also suffered a torn ACL during his college career. More updates on Marshall will be available once he's examined by the team's medical staff, but the fact that he was carted off Saturday is certainly concerning. He was considered on the bubble in terms of a roster spot entering camp, so additional missed time does not bode well for Marshall.

Marshall is a candidate for the practice squad, CSN Mid-Atlantic's Rich Tandler reports.
EDGE Analysis
With Matt Jones likely to be traded or released and Rob Kelley, Samaje Perine and Chris Thompson all locks to make the team, Marshall and Mack Brown will have to compete for a roster spot that may not exist. Marshall was selected in the seventh round of last year's draft and spent his entire rookie season on injured reserve with an elbow injury, but his top-notch athleticism -- he ran a 4.31 40-yard dash at 219 pounds -- makes him an interesting long-term project to keep on the practice squad. While lacking in athletic upside, Brown likely will enter training camp ahead of Marshall on the depth chart, after playing nine games last season and ripping off a 61-yard touchdown on one of his eight carries.

Marshall (elbow) said he is healthy and ready to compete for a roster spot, the Redskins' official website reports
EDGE Analysis
A top recruit whose college career was marred by knee injuries, Marshall pushed his way into the sixth round of last year's draft after leading all running backs at the NFL Scouting Combine in both the 40-yard dash (4.31) and bench press (25 rep). He seemingly had a shot to earn a role in a shaky Washington backfield before he suffered a season-ending elbow injury in the team's third preseason game. Undrafted rookie Robert Kelly eventually seized the lead job from Matt Jones, with Chris Thompson doing his usual strong work on passing downs. Marshall will thus be left to compete with Jones, Mack Brown and at least one rookie for what likely will be one or two roster spots. Depending on what the Redskins do in the upcoming draft, Marshall could find himself on the outside looking in, though his freakish athleticism would seemingly at least make him a good candidate for the practice squad.

Marshall (elbow) may end up competing with Mack Brown for the fourth spot on the depth chart, CSN Mid-Atlantic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Rob Kelley and Chris Thompson are locked in as contributors, while the team seemingly wants to give 2016 bust Matt Jones another shot. Such a scenario would leave Marshall on the outside looking in, even though there was sum buzz surrounding him last season -- mostly due to his fantastic measurable. The 2016 seventh-round pick missed his entire rookie year with an elbow injury, though his absence largely may have stemmed from the team's desire to stash him on injured reserve. It's also possible the Redskins will actively address the running back position during the upcoming draft, which would further complicate Marshall's path to making the roster. All that said, Marshall could climb up a somewhat shaky depth chart if he impresses throughout the offseason program.

Marshall (elbow) was placed on injured-reserve on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Marshall is only expected to be sidelined for three weeks but by placing him on IR the Redskins don't have to face the option of releasing him. The rookie has on the bubble for making the final 53-man roster as he has been in tight competition with Rob Kelley for the No. 3 spot on the depth chart all season. Many believed Kelley had the edge heading into the final week of the preseason, but sending Marshall to IR saves the Redskins from making that tough decision. When he returns to full health, Marshall could be the perfect candidate to return from the IR mid-season as each team is allowed to remove a player from injured-reserve after Week 6.
