Kelley will get some carries in Thursday's preseason finale against Tampa Bay, but Mack Brown will handle most of the workload, Mike Jones of The Washington Post reports.
With Keith Marshall (elbow) out for approximately three weeks and a candidate to be stashed on injured reserve, the undrafted Kelley has locked up his spot as the No. 3 running back. The remaining question is whether lead back Matt Jones (shoulder) will be healthy for Week 1, as his absence could leave Kelley with a significant role on the ground. Passing-down back Chris Thompson (knee/shoulder) doesn't seem to be in any real danger of missing the opener, and Washington may still take a look at the free-agent scrap heap. Mack Brown is still looking at difficult roster odds.
