The Redskins have placed second-year safety Su’a Cravens on the Reserve/Left Squad list, ending his 2017 season, the team announced Monday.
Cravens, slated to be Washington’s starter at strong safety, left the team shortly before the start of the regular season and intended to retire. He was then placed on the Exempt/Left Squad list but was only allowed to stay on that list for four regular season games or five days after the team asked him to report back.
Cravens informed his teammates of his intention to retire in a group text message, according to the Washington Post.
