Obvious concerns with injuries to our WRs. We worked out receivers Da'ron Brown, Marcus Johnson, Jay Lee and Corey Washington.

These guys all seem to be practice squad types and don't really sound like possible Parker replacements if he can't go. I think if they were really concerned they would sign Matt Hazel off the Redskins practice squad before signing any of these guys.
Now I'm holding my breath. Last time we got an oline guy we had 3 starters miss the game
Ozzy rules!!

I saw that tweet but then I was confused because it appears some of these players are under contract with other teams? Unless the information hasn't been updated. They seem more like PS players.

When 3 OL were out it makes sense. Landry had issues but not enough to shelve him.

Maybe Jakeem Grant's roster spot is in jeopardy.
Kenyan Drake can handle kickoff returns, and Jarvis Landry can handle punt returns.

WR doesn't seem to be an issue for us. Why not look at LBs since Misi is out and Jenkins is going down the drain?

We seem to be getting a starter injured every game now. This from Joe Schad Tape don't lie blog has me concerned we are a major mash unit now.
2. Miami’s offensive line, as expected, was uneven. Reserve center Anthony Steen, reserve left guard Kraig Urbik and reserve left tackle Sam Young were not dominant against San Francisco, but were not terrible. Young seems to have become more comfortable with more playing time. Urbik seemed to improve his play over the previous week. Steen, who is battling through some injuries, had a few poor plays. Look, it’s not easy to replace Mike Pouncey. In the first quarter, nice blocks by Steen and Urbik and Ajayi making a defensive lineman miss led to a gain of eight yards. The biggest concern in this game was actually starting right guard Jermon Bushrod. Bushrod, 34, has been playing through aches and pains and struggled at times on Sunday. In the first quarter, Bushrod did not hold his block against a 49ers linebacker and Ajayi was dropped for a loss of five yards. On the last play of first half, Bushrod was driven by a linebacker, leading to a sack. In the third quarter, Bushrod was beaten to the outside for a 9-yard sack of Tannehill which forced Miami to punt instead of trying a field goal. This contributed to the wasting of a 78-yard kickoff return by Drake. The Dolphins can’t get Pouncey, Laremy Tunsil and Branden Albert back fast enough. And they could use more consistency from the well-respected veteran Bushrod, once a standout tackle.

Jarvis was not himself in the last game. Stills was also dinged up? I don't get it both Caroo and/or Grant know the playbook and would be better than any of these players filling in. If anyone is down, I would want to see Caroo or Grant thrown into the mix.
As it has been mentioned before, the team works out players on a weekly basis and this could be no more than the latest group of players to work out for the team to add to their data base of players they might want to sign at a later date.

This seems most feasible. Perhaps, it was the week to workout WR's and the media just had a bad case of connect the dots w/ Parker, Landry, & Stills being dinged up.
Jesus the redskins have Hazel? That WR room is beyond stacked
He's been my biggest worry on the line and is not playing well as of late. Bushrod was basically pulled out of retirement and followed Gase down here as patch at guard. Bushrod's health and deteriorating performance as he lags thru a long season with no adequate depth to now spell him was one of the reasons I was against Turner's release (who is now a backup lineman in Denver).
