Mike

Sellers

The former tight end caught twelve passes last season, seven for scores. The ‘Skins start with a two-TE set, so the fullback may be utilized primarily in red-zone situations.

Sellers, who turns 37 in July, appeared in 12 games last season, catching only one pass for 15 yards. A Redskin for 11 of his 12 career NFL seasons, Sellers figures to retire. He was a versatile, H-back type during his prime, contributing on special teams and operating some as a short-yardage back. Sellers scored 21 career touchdowns, 18 as a receiver and three as a runner.

Sellers held the arm close to his body while being escorted off by trainers. If it’s a season-ending injury, it may unofficially end the 12-year-old’s career. Sellers, 36, is under contract for 2012, but likely won’t be back.

Sellers impressively lasted until his age-36 season, playing a dozen years in the NFL, all with the Redskins. His career ends after 123 catches for 1,095 yards, and 21 all-purpose touchdowns. Sellers also played on special teams.

Sellers will spend the night in the hospital and be re-evaluated on Friday. He’s mostly a special teamer at this stage of his career.

Sellers could see some goal-line looks, but isn’t a reliable Fantasy option.

Sellers has scored four touchdowns on his five catches this season.

He is set to make slightly more than $535,000 a season. Sellers will backup Chris Cooley and will be primarily used as a blocker.
