The team re-signed RB Larry Johnson because of Thomas' injury.

Wed, 06 Oct 2010 02:21:35 -0700 The Washington Redskins could look to re-sign RBs Larry Johnson or Willie Parker, reports Jason Reid, of The Washington Post. The Redskins are thin at running back currently due to a groin injury sidelining RB Clinton Portis.

Thu, 26 Aug 2010 13:17:23 -0700 Washington Redskins RB Willie Parker will be given extended action Friday, Aug. 27, and a good performance could help him pass RB Larry Johnson on the team's depth chart, reports Rich Tandler, of CSNWashington.com. If Parker fails to impress, he will be on the bubble for even making the team's final roster. Not only does he have to impress running the ball, but he also has to impress with his pass protection. Head coach Mike Shanahan said that is an area Parker knows he needs to improve.
Sat, 21 Aug 2010 17:02:47 -0700 Washington Redskins RB Larry Johnson wasn't able to get much going Saturday, Aug. 21, against the Baltimore Ravens. He rushed eight times for just four yards during the game.

Head coach Mike Shanahan sees Portis and RBs Larry Johnson and Willie Parker as almost interchangeable veteran backs. Johnson and Parker are in the mix for prominent roles with the squad.
Thu, 29 Jul 2010 13:34:41 -0700 Washington Redskins RB Larry Johnson showed enough during the offseason to likely earn a spot in the team's backfield this season, reports Jason Reid and Rick Maese, of The Washington Post.
Mon, 26 Jul 2010 06:38:20 -0700 Washington Redskins RB Clinton Portis may have to serve as the team's third down back in 2010, reports John Keim, of the Washington Examiner. The Redskins do not have a lot of speed at running back, and RBs Larry Johnson and Willie Parker have never filled the third-down role during their careers. Plus, neither back is considered a good blocker. The Redskins could be forced to use Portis as their third down back and spell him with other backs more on first and second down.
Sat, 03 Jul 2010 04:22:55 -0700 Washington Redskins RB Larry Johnson looked quick, focused and he hustled on every play during offseason practices, according to Rich Tandler, of CSNWashington.com.

Tue, 01 Jun 2010 04:21:08 -0700 Washington Redskins RB Larry Johnson said his transition thus far with his new team has been just fine, according to Mark Viera, of The Washington Post. Johnson said he's comfortable with the number of carries he has received so far in minicamps and during organized team activities. He also feels comfortable in the team's zone-blocking scheme, even though the system seems to run counter to Johnson's strengths as a thundering, downhill runner. "I think it's definitely still downhill, because we're not actually running sideways," Johnson said. "We're waiting for one or two cuts and we're in there. People know I'm going to run downhill. As long as we stretch, stretch, stretch, and then bring it downhill, there's going to be holes on the backside."
Wed, 28 Apr 2010 05:42:53 -0700 The Washington Redskins are not concerned with how the carries will be distributed between RBs Clinton Portis, Larry Johnson and Willie Parker this season, reports Zach Berman, of The Washington Post. "That's the least of our concerns right now," running backs coach Bobby Turner said, when asked about dealing with the personalities of the three running backs. "We want them competing and we're still installing, meaning we're still putting in our offense. That's the least of my concerns right now. Once we decide who makes the team and you start game-planning, that's a different a deal. But that's so far down the line." Offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan added, "It's very rare that you have just one back and that one back plays in all 16 games. So to have three backs is going to make all three of them better. It's a matter of time, but all three of them will help us."
Tue, 06 Apr 2010 12:54:12 -0700 Ryan O'Halloran, of CSNWashington.com, reports Washington Redskins head coach Mike Shanahan said he sees RBs Clinton Portis, Larry Johnson and Willie Parker being on the Week 1 roster.

Thu, 25 Mar 2010 18:49:18 -0700 Jason Reid, of The Washington Post, reports Washington Redskins RB Larry Johnson missed the team's voluntary workout Thursday, March 25, because of a doctor's appointment, according to his agent, Peter Schaffer.
Wed, 17 Mar 2010 17:31:21 -0700 Jason Reid, of The Washington Post, reports Washington Redskins head coach Mike Shanahan is comfortable that RB Larry Johnson's past won't be an issue. Shanahan said, 'Well, first of all, there's a lot of thought that goes into it, before you make those decisions. And I feel very good about Larry, what he brings to the table. Obviously, I've done some research on him. I've talked to a number of people about him before we actually [brought] him in. Now, I'm actually looking forward to him competing at that position. But I can assure you that a lot of thought, a lot of study, goes into checking somebody's background and talking to a number of different people before it's actually done."
Wed, 17 Mar 2010 08:33:06 -0700 Rick Maese, of The Washington Post, reports former NFL head coach Dick Vermeil said he believes Washington Redskins RB Larry Johnson will beat out RB Clinton Portis for the team's starting running back spot. "He will take over the running back position," Vermeil said. "That's what I think. He'll push that guy right out of a job. Larry Johnson will work all week - he'll work Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday - and he'll make you start him on Sundays."
Fri, 12 Mar 2010 17:12:35 -0800 Jason Reid, of The Washington Post, reports newly added Washington Redskins RB Larry Johnson is expected to give the Redskins a strong runner in the backfield to compliment starter Clinton Portis.

Johnson's last 1,000-yard season was 2006, when he rushed for a career-high 1,789 yards and 17 touchdowns.

He's more impressive in person than he was having to coach against him when I was very impressed."
Thu, 26 Nov 2009 11:08:05 -0800 Joe Reedy, of the Cincinnati Enquirer, reports Cincinnati Bengals RB Cedric Benson (hip) did do rehab work on a side field Thursday, Nov. 26, but he is doubtful for Week 12. RB Larry Johnson is expected to see more carries if Benson sits out.
