Stephen Campbell

Redskins Sign Stephen Campbell

The Redskins have made a minor roster move, according to the team, announcing today (via Twitter) that fullback Stephen Cambell has signed with the club. Washington had an open spot on its 90-man roster following the indefinite suspension handed down to safety Tanard Jackson.

Campbell, a West Virginia Wesleyan product from 2009 to 2012, totaled 65 receptions for 625 yards and eight touchdowns during his college career. The running back signed with the Colts as a free agent this past April, but was cut after the draft when the team brought in a new group of undrafted rookies.

While he figures to enter training camp next week with the Redskins, Campbell will be an extreme long shot to earn a spot on the club’s regular season roster.

Minor Moves: Colts, Jaguars, Menkin, Raiders

We’ll round up Thursday’s minor transactions right here, which today includes a former NFLer signing with a CFL club and an exclusive rights free agent signing his ERFA tender. Any additional minor moves will be added to the top of the list throughout the day:

  • The Colts signed free agent fullbacks Stephen Campbell and Cameron White, according to Mike Chappell of the Indianapolis Star (on Twitter).
  • The Jaguars have re-signed exclusive rights free agent Jordan Todman, according to Howard Balzer of The SportsXchange (via Twitter). The running back received a $645K ERFA tender from the team last month.

Earlier updates:

  • Offensive lineman Nate Menkin, who played his college ball at Mary Hardin-Baylor and joined the Eagles and Texans after going undrafted, has signed with the CFL’s Ottawa RedBlacks, according to Aaron Wilson of the Baltimore Sun (via Twitter). 2014 will be the first season for the RedBlacks, an expansion franchise.
  • Raiders linebacker Kaelin Burnett has signed his ERFA tender for the 2014 season, the team announced today (Twitter link).
