Stevan Ridley visiting Redskins

ASHBURN, Va. - Stevan Ridley is heading to the nation's capitol in search of a job.

The former Patriots running back, who also spent time with the Dolphins and Jets this offseason, will visit Redskins head coach Jay Gruden on Tuesday, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL.com.

Ridley, a free agent, tore his ACL and MCL in a Week 6 clash with the Bills last season, and was replaced by LaGarrette Blount after a series of costly fumbles in 2013.

A third-round pick in 2011 from LSU, he had two seasons with seven or more touchdowns, notching 2,817 yards and 22 scores. His career-long rush of 43 yards came last season against the Bengals.

The Redskins finished 19th last season in rushing (105.7 ypg) behind Alfred Morris, whose 1,074 yards were eleventh-best in the NFL, adding a third-best eight touchdown rushes.
