<p>Well, it didn't take <span>Tashard Choice</span> long to find a new home. Yet it seems that the team he signed with has a penchant of finding talent (for better or worse) within their own the division, the NFC East.</p>
<blockquote>
<p><span class="tweet clearfix">Per ESPN, #<a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/nfl/teams/washington-redskins">Redskins</a> claim RB Tashard Choice off waivers from Dallas. <span class="tweet_author">— <a href="http://twitter.com/ryanohalloran/status/131107144304041984" class="tweet_url" target="_blank">@ryanohalloran</a> via Twitter</span></span></p>

<p>Yes, the Redskins have been ravaged by injuries this season. Washington's opening day starter and free-agent acquisition (from Arizona) <span>Tim Hightower</span> was put on injured reserve with an ACL injury, but could there be a case of guerrilla warfare tactics going on with head coach Mike Shanahan and the Skins coaching staff? It came out recently that Choice had never been a favorite of Jason Garrett, so Choice could be a motivated producer in the Redskins' zone blocking scheme the rest of the way.</p>
<p>With Hightower out, Ryan Torain (166 yards) and <span>Roy Helu</span> (131 yards) have attempted to pickup the slack. Torain has been a favorite of Shanahan's, but has been highly injury prone since being a free-agent signing after finishing his career at Arizona State. Helu, a rookie out of Nebraska, has shown flashes but has struggled in pass protection thus far.</p>

<p>With the emergence of Demarco Murray as another factor back in the Cowboys offense along with <span>Felix Jones</span> plus lingering issues with fumbling and injury woes, the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.bloggingtheboys.com/">Dallas Cowboys</a> have decided to part ways with running back <span>Tashard Choice</span> on Saturday.</p>
<p><a href="http://espn.go.com/dallas/nfl/story/_/id/7164134/source-dallas-cowboys-waive-injured-tashard-choice">According to sources</a>, Tashard Choice will be released from the Dallas Cowboys to make room for rookie linebacker <span>Bruce Carter</span> out of North Carolina.</p>
<p>Carter was previously on the reserve non-football injury list and has been unavailable for the Cowboys' first six games. The first game he's allowed to play in is the Cowboys game this Sunday night versus the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="https://www.bleedinggreennation.com/">Philadelphia Eagles</a>.</p>
<p>For Choice, there had been talk about trading the tailback out of Georgia Tech before the deadline but with Felix Jones going down with a high-ankle sprain the Cowboys retained his services to provide depth. With Choice now off the roster, rookie <span>Phillip Tanner</span> from Middle Tennessee State will move up the depth chart to the No. 3 back. Choice then suffered an injury to his shoulder versus the <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/nfl/teams/st-louis-rams">St. Louis Rams</a>, taking him out of the game.</p>
<p>If Choice clears waivers, the Cowboys will offer him an injury settlement.</p>
