Scherff to I-R, Sims to the WFT 53

Brandon Scherff, the Washington Football Team franchise & oft-injured player is on the shelf again until mid-October. Who replaces him?

Brandon Scherff was going to miss at least a 'couple of weeks' as Ron Rivera said on Monday with an MCL injury to his right knee. 

Now it's official that he'll miss more than a true 'couple' as in at least three weeks as he was put on the injured reserve list on Tuesday by the Washington Football Team. 

The move is official. Scherff to IR. Can come back in 3 weeks #WashingtonFootball pic.twitter.com/5p8Aj7sMfY

This isn't a surprise and perhaps it should have been done on Monday for all of our sanity. 

Cam Sims was promoted to the 53-man roster, which is not a surprise considering it is believed that Washington was out of practice squad free exemptions. 

Sims plays a huge role on special teams and seemingly is involved in every punt return at the mesh point. 

Washington worked out six players this week and now have one definitive spot on the practice squad and possibly will have more.
