Safety Josh Evans was preparing to travel to London for the fourth consecutive season when the Redskins released him right before departing. Evans, who was signed in early October for safety depth, returned home to Jacksonville and went back to working out.
Two months later, he is back with the Redskins, signing with the team on Wednesday, after veteran safety Donte Whitner was placed on Injured Reserve. Evans received a call in the morning, took the next flight out of Florida, received a physical and returned to greet the players he can call teammates again.
“This year was a learning experience,” said Evans, who spent the previous three years with the Jaguars.
