Redskins Insider reported Washington Redskins veteran wide receiver James Thrash has the third wide receiver spot locked down. This isn't surprising since rookies Devin Thomas and Malcolm Kelly are both injured, but what is clear is that it appears likely Thrash will make this squad.
There was some speculation earlier in the year that a youth movement may be underway in the Redskins receiving corps. But it looks like the special teams stud, Thrash, will remain and may even contribute to the offense while Thomas and Kelly heal and try to catch up on what they missed.
The following will definitely make the team:
Santana Moss
Antwaan Randle El
James Thrash
Devin Thomas
Malcolm Kelly
These dudes are on the bubble, with likely one spot left on the roster:
Anthony Mix
Billy McMullen
Horace Grant
Burl Toler
Maurice Mann
My bet is on McMullen. I was a fan of Mix, but a lot of drops early in training camp followed by an injury may have given McMullen an advantage.
The other dudes are too raw in my opinion, but you never know.
Besides, does the 6th wide receiver really matter? Sure depth is good, but Campbell already has many options when he drops back (Moss, Randle El, Cooley, Davis, Portis, Sellers).
