The receiver that the Redskins once envisioned as the next Andre Johnson is no longer one of the best 80 players in the organization.

The Redskins waived/injured wide receiver Malcolm Kelly on Tuesday as they trimmed the roster to 80. Kelly, who was taken with Devin Thomas in the second round of the 2008 draft, has struggled to stay healthy his entire career. Kelly had 28 catches in three years.

Also cut: linebacker Eric McBride, offensive lineman Corey O’Daniel, kicker Clint Stitser, tight end Joe Torchia, defensive back Dante Barnes, quarterback Ben Chappell, offensive lineman Xavier Fulton, and defensive back Tyrone Grant.
