The Washington Redskins are signing quarterback Josh Johnson, according to ESPN NFL Nation reporter John Keim.
Johnson played for four teams from 2009 to 2014 and made five starts. He's thrown five touchdowns, 10 interceptions and completed 54.2 percent of his passes. Johnson was most recently the No. 1 overall pick in the Alliance of American Football draft by the San Diego Fleet.
The acquisition comes after Washington signal-caller Colt McCoy suffered a broken right fibula against the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday that ended his season. No. 1 quarterback Alex Smith suffered a broken tibia and fibula versus the Houston Texans on November 18.
