Redskins | Washington signs one, releases one

Free-agent RB Kenny Hilliard (Texans) was signed by the Washington Redskins Monday, July 31. RB Keith Marshall (knee) was waived with an injury designation in a corresponding move.

Footballguys View: Marshall’s knee problems de-railed his chance at doing anything in the pros. Hilliard is a natural runner with good instincts but is a longshot to make an impact after coming into the league as a seventh-round pick for the Texans in 2015.

Vikings | No timetable for Latavius Murray

Minnesota Vikings RB Latavius Murray (ankle) does not have a specific timetable for when he will return from the Physically Unable to Perform list, although he did say it would be before the regular season starts.

Footballguys View: That was the plan entering training camp, and that continues now after camp has started. The team signed Murray to a 3-year contract with $8.5 million guaranteed in free agency, but they had no way of knowing Dalvin Cook would fall to the second round of the 2017 NFL draft. We expect the rookie from Florida State to win the starting job for the Vikings, but Murray could mix in as a reserve player.
