Redskins Sign RB Ryan Grant/Place Roy Helu Jr. on IR

WTF spinal?! Serious?

it's a mike tyson joke

Spinal?

Roy Helu placed on season-ending injured reserve (http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/football-insider/wp/2012/09/26/roy-helu-placed-on-season-ending-injured-reserve/)

Helu heads to IR with turf toe - Rich Tandler's Real Redskins (http://www.realredskins.com/rich-tandlers-real-redsk/2012/09/helu-heads-to-ir-with-turf-toe.html)

It's turf toe from what I've seen.

I think the answer here is Helu.

Just a wild guess though.

Why not just IR him?

edit. Just as I post this, I see your post above about him going to IR.

This is unbelievable...the injuries!


The Grant signing was crucial. He's probably the best available RB on the market.

Hopefully Hightower heals up and signs later in the season too.

Coulda gotten Cedric Benson and IR'ed Helu sooner. Just saying

Turf toe? Forget about the f&cking toe!!

Would Benson have been a good fit here? He's not really tearing things up in GB in their system. He's more of a power guy who likes to run behind a FB.

It's concerning that Helu was borderline IR leading up to the season b/c of his achilles and now he's placed on IR for turf toe. I'd be less concerned, I think, if the same injury that nearly put him on IR in the first place was the one that eventually did.

And I'm not sure they're done with moves

Well, Redskins have officially announced he's been place on IR so that's all the confirmation I need

Not all that surprising, bigger surprise is that he wasn't placed on IR before the season started.

Some of you know I was saying back in July he was a strong candidate for IR. Never could quite get healthy enough.

I still hear Royster may miss some time though. Week or two perhaps

that's disappointing. helu and royster just can't seem to stay healthy at all.

lol...."I broke my back!"...not many caught on to that one but I did!
