Redskins Activate Stephen Bowen; Place Akeem Jordan on Injured Reserve
The Washington Redskins announced today that they have activated defensive end Stephen Bowen from the team’s Reserve/Physically Unable to Perform (PUP) list and placed linebacker Akeem Jordan on the team’s Reserve/Injured list.
The Redskins had a 21 day evaluation window they were working with after Bowen returned to practice this week. The feeling was Bowen was ready from the staff during the week.
Bowen has started all 42 games in which he has appeared with the Redskins since joining the organization as an unrestricted free agent on August 30, 2011. He has recorded 85 tackles (45 solo), 7.0 sacks, five passes defensed and a fumble recovery since 2011.
“I felt great all week,” said Bowen. “I got better as the week went on, getting used to the pace of the game again. I’m just excited just to be back, working with the guys and contributing anyway I can to help us win.”
Jordan joined the Redskins as an unrestricted free agent on March 19, 2014 and has been nursing a knee injury most of the season.
