Jan. 21 (UPI) -- 'Fat Rob' Kelley earned the starting job with a sizzling start as a feature back last season for the Washington Redskins.
Scout.com's Ben Standing reported Saturday that Kelley had surgery on his right knee after the Redskins' Week 17 loss to the New York Giants. The 24-year-old rushed for 704 yards and six touchdowns on 168 carries. His best performance came in Week 11, when he ran for 137 yards and three touchdowns on 24 carries against the Green Bay Packers.
