Washington Football Team RB Wendell Smallwood on Saturday, Dec. 4, was elevated to the Week 13 roster from the practice squad.
| Footballguys view: J.D. McKissic is out, so the team needed more depth at running back. Smallwood will get some change-of-pace looks behind starter Antonio Gibson. We'll see how much Jaret Patterson is used as well in Week 13 against the Raiders. |

Steelers | Wendell Smallwood joins Pittsburgh Tue Jul 28, 04:01 PM
Free-agent RB Wendell Smallwood (Washington Football Team) signed a one-year contract with the Pittsburgh Steelers Tuesday, July 27. Financial terms weren't disclosed.
| Footballguys view: The Steelers already have a jam-packed RB corps with James Conner, Benny Snell Jr., Jaylen Samuels, Anthony McFarland Jr., Kerrith Whyte Jr., and Trey Edmunds. Smallwood has a versatile skill set and some playing experience, so we'll see if that helps him win a spot on the 53-man roster near the end of the bench. |

Washington Redskins DL Tim Settle (hamstring), WR Paul Richardson (hamstring) and RB Chris Thompson (toe) were held out of practice all week and have been ruled out for Week 11 against the New York Jets. TE Vernon Davis (concussion) was limited in practice all week and has also been ruled out. S Deshazor Everett (ankle) and S Montae Nicholson (ankle) were limited in practice Friday, Nov. 15, and are listed as questionable. CB Josh Norman (hamstring) and RB Adrian Peterson (toe) fully participated in practice Friday and no longer appear on the injury report. RB Wendell Smallwood (non-injury) was not given a practice designation for a second straight day but has also been removed from the injury report.
| Footballguys view: Richardson being out should allow Kelvin Harmon and Steven Sims to get extended looks against a weak Jets secondary. |

Eagles | Wendell Smallwood waived Sat Aug 31, 03:14 PM
Philadelphia Eagles RB Wendell Smallwood was waived Saturday, Aug. 31.
| Footballguys view: The Eagles backfield was cramped this offseason and that's why they let go of Smallwood and Josh Adams on Saturday. A fifth-round pick out of West Virginia in the 2016 NFL draft, Smallwood might latch on with a new team in need of a pass-catching back. |

Eagles | Miles Sanders expects shared workload Tue Jul 9, 10:28 PM
Philadelphia Eagles RB Miles Sanders expects plenty of competition at his position in training camp and for the ball to 'spread out a lot' between Jordan Howard, Corey Clement, Wendell Smallwood and himself, according to comments he made during an interview Tuesday, July 9, on the NFL Network.'It's definitely going to be competitive. That's what I like about rooms like this. It was like this at Penn State. It was a very talented running back room. But I'm just used to that stuff - competing and making each other better. Nobody's really going to be the star running back, I think. I think the ball's going to be spread out a lot, and that's what I kind of like, too,' Sanders said.
| Footballguys view: The rookie is on the right track here. Sanders should be the satellite back behind starter (and classic power back) Jordan Howard. The rest of the players like Clement and Smallwood in the backfield could get into the reserve mix as well. Sanders has missed time this offseason recovering from a hamstring injury. We'll see if he can impress in training camp. |

Eagles | Wendell Smallwood continues to progress Tue Jul 2, 02:19 AM
Philadelphia Eagles RB Wendell Smallwood had a strong offseason program and assistant head coach and running backs coach Duce Staley is excited about his role in the offense. 'I'm excited about Wendell. Like we talked about earlier, we have a great room, a great group, and they're all competitive, and they know they're competing against each other, which is awesome,' Staley said. 'Wendell's picked his game up during OTAs. We all know he can catch the ball out of the backfield. He's just getting better within the offense, learning our offense even more.'
| Footballguys view: We're not giving up on Smallwood in dynasty formats. Deep dynasty that is. Smallwood is buried on the team's depth chart at the moment and is no lock to make the 53-man roster. The Eagles acquired veteran Jordan Howard via trade and rookie Miles Sanders in the draft this offseason, so that pushes a guy like Smallwood down the depth chart. |
