Cravens surprised teammates and coaches over the weekend after telling them he was thinking about retiring.
The Redskins moved Cravens to the Exempt/Left Squad list Sunday. If Cravens does not rejoin the team in five days, the Redskins will have four weeks to figure out what to do with him. They could cut, trade, activate or move Cravens to the season-ending Reserve/Left Squad list at any time. After four weeks, they would have to choose one of those options.

If the five days pass, the Redskins could place Cravens on the Reserve/Left Squad list, which would end Cravens’ season, at any time. After the end of the four weeks, the Redskins would have to activate Cravens to the 53-man roster, trade, release or move him to the Reserve/Left squad list.
