#Redskins to announce the signing of free agent CB David Jones....In a corresponding move #Redskins waive CB Chase Minnifield, who will automatically revert to the team's Injured Reserve if not claimed.

Chase Minnifield had microfracture surgery on his knee in January and was already destined to start training camp on the PUP list despite coaches' positive reviews. Rich Campbell spoke with Minnifield's agent who said Minnifield suffered a setback this off-season.
