The Redskins haven’t made their cuts official, but here’s an unofficial list based on reporting by ESPN.com, The Washington Post, ESPN 980, WJFK 106.7 The Fan, the Fredericksburg Free Lance-Star and CSNWashington.
Running back Evan Royster will make the final roster, per The Washington Post. Quarterback Pat White remains on the roster as the Redskins head into practice at 1 p.m. There's talk they're trying to find a way to either trade him or keep four quarterbacks. They only need to release two more with exemptions for suspended players Jarvis Jenkins and Rob Jackson and with lineman Maurice Hurt likely headed to the PUP list. Receiver Dez Briscoe needs a second opinion on his injured shoulder and could be a waived/injured or injured reserve candidate.
A number of the players released will be signed to the practice squad if they clear waivers, notably Chase Minnifield, Nick Williams and Emmanuel Ogbuehi.
Here’s the list so far:
CB Chase Minnifield
OL Tony Pashos
OL Xavier Nixon
WR Skye Dawson
WR Nick Williams
WR Lance Lewis
DL Ron Brace
LB Will Compton
LB Vic So'oto
TE Emmanuel Ogbuehi
