Redskins’ Kelly has one week to earn roster spot

ASSOCIATED PRESS Washington Redskins wide receiver Malcolm Kelly (12) works out during practice at the NFL football team’s training camp, Saturday, July 31, 2010, at Redskins Park in Ashburn, Va.

ASHBURN, Va. | Malcolm Kelly has one week to show he belongs on the Washington Redskins‘ roster.

Kelly pulled his left hamstring working out with Donovan McNabb in Arizona the week before training camp opened. Kelly missed the first three preseason games and has fallen behind other receivers as the Redskins look ahead to the final roster cuts on Saturday.

Kelly was on the field for Sunday’s light practice and plans to play in Thursday’s preseason finale against the Arizona Cardinals. The third-year receiver was a second-round selection in 2008, but he knows some people are wondering if he’ll turn out to be another wasted draft pick.
