Redskins Sign G Hugh Thornton, Waive C Casey Dunn With Injury Designation

According to Brian McNally, the Redskins have signed G Hugh Thornton to the 90-man roster. 

The team announced it waived C Casey Dunn with an injury designation to free space for Thornton. Washington worked Thornton out yesterday. 

Thornton, 28, is a former third-round pick of the Colts back in 2013. He played out his four-year, $2,735,380 contract with the Colts and was testing the open market as an unrestricted free agent for the first time in his career when he signed a one-year contract with the Falcons.

Thornton was set to make a base salary of $690,000 for the 2017 season when he announced his retirement in 2017. From there, the Falcons released him a month later and he has sat out the past two seasons. 

For his career, Thornton appeared in 37 games for the Colts.
