The Washington Redskins announced that signing of veteran CB Will Blackmon on Tuesday.
In order to make room for their new addition, the Redskins wound up placing SÂ Duke Ihenacho on season-ending injured reserve.
Mike Garafolo of FOX Sports reported yesterday that Washington was hosting Blackmon for a visit today, so it appears as though everything went well during the tryout.
Ihenacho suffered a fractured wrist during Sunday’s game and was expected to be sidelined 6-8 weeks.
Blackmon, 30, signed on with the Seahawks as a free agent back in March. However, he was unfortunately among their final roster cuts a little over a week ago.
In 2014, Blackmon appeared in eight games and recorded 30 tackles, one sack, and a forced fumble during the 2014 season. Pro Football Focus has him rated as the No. 85 cornerback out of 108 qualifying players.
Ihenacho, 26, re-signed with the Redskins on a one-year exclusive rights deal worth $660,000 back in March. He’ll be a restricted free agent next year.
During Sunday’s game, Ihenacho recorded three tackles for Washington.
