No surprise. Helu hasn't looked right at all in these 3 games.

[quote=skinsfan69;945609]Is Helu in trouble?[/quote]

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

Sucks to hear Helu is ailing this early in his NFL career. He had some injuries in college (though I had forgotten that before), but so far this seems pretty serious. His workload last season wasn't that big, just under 700 yds I think, and it's like he's never recovered. Boo :(

I think the answer here is Helu.

Just a wild guess though.

What was the injury to Helu? I know he hasn't looked right but i haven't heard what was specifically wrong with him.

Why not just IR him?

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

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