Undrafted rookie Shawnbrey McNeal is vying with Curtis Brinkley and Marcus Mason to be the Chargers’ No. 3 running back.

The favorite for the spot is likely McNeal, who adds plenty in the passing game and is exceptionally quick. Brinkley was unpressive at Syracuse. Mason is established as a journeyman who pretty much only excels in preseason.

Chargers beat writer Kevin Acee projects undrafted rookie Shawnbrey McNeal as the “early favorite” to be the team’s No. 3 tailback.

Ryan Mathews and Darren Sproles are locked into the Nos. 1 and 2 spots. McNeal is battling Curtis Brinkley and journeyman Marcus Mason. A skilled receiver with quickness, McNeal is probably the best talent in the group.

Redskins released RB Marcus Mason

The move was apparently made to open a roster spot for a soon to be announced transaction. However Mason, despite a strong preseason, became more expendable following a strong Week 1 performance from an apparently healthy Clinton Portis. Mason will likely be added to the practice squad if he clears waivers.

Redskins re-signed RB Marcus Mason to their practice squad.

Mason is expected to draw interest from other teams, however, as he can be signed to an active roster in the situation he’s in after a strong preseason.

Jets waived RB Marcus Mason.

Mason always looks good against third-stringers in preseason, but lacks the speed and moves to be more than a fourth tailback option/special teamer.

Redskins claimed RB Marcus Mason off waivers from the Jets.

Mason was with Washington in preseason last year and has an idea about coach Jim Zorn’s offense, but fellow waiver grab Anthony Alridge has a better chance to fill the team’s need for a “speed” complement to Clinton Portis.

Beat writer Ryan O’Halloran thinks Marcus Mason could be used in short-yardage situations.

Not sure if we’re buying this or the Washington Post’s claim that Mason will be Clinton Portis’ backup before the season is over. Mason was a camp darling and deserved to make the team but we highly doubt he’d ever take carries away from Ladell Betts or Portis.

According to Jason Reid of the Washington Post, RB Marcus Mason has made the roster.

It’s a little bit of an upset. Mason struggles in pass protection but obviously showed enough this year. He’ll be the fourth running back behing Clinton Portis, Ladell Betts and Rock Cartwright. The Redskins cut Mason at this time a year ago.

Redskins declared RB Marcus Mason, CB Kevin Barnes, C Edwin Williams, LB Robert Henson, OL Chad Rinehart, OL D’Anthony Batiste, DT Anthony Montgomery and DE Renaldo Wynn inactive.

Mason was a camp darling that is simply insurance for Clinton Portis and Ladell Betts.
