Redskins Sign Dashaun Phillips
The cut and re-sign is a demotion for Phillips, who started the season as the Redskins starting nickel-back corner. Phillips injured his hamstring earlier this year, an injury that kept him out o action for three weeks; he lost his job to Kendall Fuller in the process.
