When healthy, Harris was one of the top defensive players in the country. Watch out for him in Washington. https://t.co/L4qSfuVHRg

The Redskins also had to release three players to make room on the 90-man roster. The most notable name on the list is former 2017 7th round pick Joshua Holsey. The former Auburn cornerback appeared in 12 games as a rookie, and was set to compete for a roster spot last year before he suffered a freak toe injury during a move. Holsey only appeared in one game last season.
RB Russell Hansbrough and T Roubbens Joseph were also released. The Redskins are currently full on their 90-man roster, but still have to sign two more draft picks. 1st round pick Montez Sweat, and 3rd round pick Terry McLaurin remain unsigned.
