WR Carlos Henderson Joining Redskins?

It sounds like Carlos Henderson may have found a new home. As Troy Renck of Denver7 tweeted, a recent Instagram post from the wideout seems to indicate that he’s signed with the Redskins. A move wouldn’t be made official until Monday.

The Broncos had high hopes for the Louisiana Tech product when they selected him the third round of the 2017 draft. After tearing a ligament in his left thumb, Henderson spent his entire rookie campaign on the injured reserve. Due to a personal matter, the receiver was placed on the “did not report list” at the beginning of 2018 training camp, and he was subsequently slapped with a one-game suspension for violating the league’s substance abuse policy.

Henderson was waived by the Broncos at the end of the preseason, although he later caught on with their practice squad. However, the 24-year-old was let go for good in the middle of September. Since that time, Henderson has only had a single audition with the Bears.

The Redskins have suffered plenty of injuries at wide receiver, with Trey Quinn, Paul Richardson, Cam Sims, and Robert Davis sitting on the IR, so Henderson will provide the team with a healthy body at practice. However, considering Henderson’s one-game suspension, it’s more likely that the Redskins are eyeing the wideout as a potential option for the 2019 season.
