The Redskins made a roster change at the safety position today, releasing veteran Jamarca Sanford and signing Akeem Davis from the practice squad.
Washington signed Sanford, 29 and a five-year NFL veteran, on September 29. He had spent the previous five years of his career with the Vikings before they let him go with an injury settlement in early September.
This is the second time this year Davis has been brought up from the practice squad. He was waived on the final cutdown, signed to the practice squad and then promoted to the roster on September 9. He was released on October 7 and re-signed to the practice squad two days later.
Davis, 24, was signed as a free agent. He has played in four games, mostly on special teams.
The Redskins announced the moves this afternoon.
