It has not been a good summer at tight end for the Redskins.
The team has placed Niles Paul and Logan Paulsen on injured reserve and oft-injured Jordan Reed is dealing with hamstring soreness, leaving the team to bring in outside help this weekend.
There are two new additions to the group. Ernst Brun’s signing was announced when the team placed Paul and Paulsen on IR and they announced later that they’ve also signed D.J. Williams. Williams worked out for the team on Sunday before getting a contract.
Williams was a Packers fifth-round pick in 2011 and caught nine passes in 26 games over his first two seasons with the team.
