Veteran running back Ryan Grant has agreed to terms with the Washington Redskins, FOX Sports Insider and NFL Network contributor Jay Glazer reports.
Grant, who was in Chicago for a workout with the Bears, is flying to Washington on Tuesday evening to be with the team.
Grant was in the Bears' locker room when he got the call from the Redskins, according to Glazer.

CBSSports.com first reported that Grant and the Redskins struck a deal.

The Redskins are thin at running back after injuries to Roy Helu (foot) and Evan Royster (knee).

Grant was released by the Green Bay Packers following the 2011 season, in which he rushed for 559 yards on 134 carries.

He suffered a season-ending injury in Week 1 of the 2010 season following consecutive 1,200-yard campaigns.
That makes sense, and should help out the Redskins with their running game. As the article says, they are thin at RB, and they have Alfred Morris starting, a rookie. Now they'll have a veteran presence as well.

I wonder what that was like with him being in the Bears' locker room when he got the call. See him there, and all of a sudden he's on his way to Washington lol.

Rats Alfred Morris has been doing pretty good. Hopefully Grant doesn't take all his carries.

Morris is our only healthy back right now. This is a depth move.

Has he fallen off that much he couldnt geta roster spot in the offseason?

If not, I dont understand why we didnt pursue him or Steve Slaton.. Andre Brown has played well but he's not a feature back... neither is Bradshaw.

I doubt Grant has anything left. Pretty sure a bunch of teams had him in for workouts and all passed on him.

Yeah, I heard a lot of teams had him working out for them, but just nobody took the chance on him, until now. As said, it's a depth move to a team with injuries at RB right now. He might do some to help them out, but who knows.
