Signed as a college free agent wide receiver, Quinton Dunbar on Friday formally switched to cornerback after a rash of injuries at the position for the Redskins.
Two days ago, Quinton Dunbar looked out of place on the far practice field at the Bon Secours Washington Redskins Training Center in Richmond, Va., where his white No. 17 practice jersey stuck out like a sore thumb among the other burgundy practice jerseys around him.
At the time, Dunbar, a wide receiver, was going through a few drills with the defensive backs, as coach Perry Fewell and defensive coordinator Joe Barry looked for options after injuries plagued the cornerback position for the Redskins.
