Killings signed with the Washington Redskins and was assigned to Rhein Fire in the 2004 NFL Europe enhancement allocation program on February 9, 2004.
The Washington Redskins re-signed Killings for depth on Dec. 8, 2004, when the team placed defensive end Phillip Daniels on injured reserve.
In 2005, Killings played in ten regular season games with the Washington Redskins, and started in one.
Killings was involved in a head-to-head collision by Roy Hall during the second quarter of a game against the Indianapolis Colts on September 23, 2007, and had to be taken off the field in a stretcher.
A Houston Methodist Hospital spokesperson said that Killings could move all of his extremities but was complaining of numbness coming and going in his lower back area.
The Texans' Harry Williams, a receiver, and Cedric Killings, a defensive lineman, both saw their careers end in sudden, frightening fashion because of wedge-related neck injuries during the 2007 season.
They now state that once the ball has been kicked, no more than two receiving team players can be within 2 yards of each other on the same yard line, or to quote Texans special teams coach Joe Marciano, "shoulder pad to shoulder pad."
