Shanahan prefers to think of his roster as 61 players deep. The Redskins can begin adding their eight practice squad players at noon Sunday. They’ll likely select a couple of young players they released Saturday and might also shop for a quarterback. Releasing Clemens means the Redskins have only John Beck and Rex Grossman, a decision inspired in part by a new NFL rule that no longer allows teams to designate an emergency quarterback. They’d likely need a third arm to run the scout team at practices.
Who will they be?
