The Washington Redskins have placed strong safety Duke Ihenacho on season ending injured reserve and signed cornerback Will Blackmon who they had recently brought in for a workout. Ihenacho dislocated his wrist early on in the Redskins 17-10 loss to the Miami Dolphins in week 1.
Ihenacho won the starting strong safety job in training camp and was poised to have a breakout season in 2015 but with the Redskins placing him on injured reserve he won’t be able to play again for the rest of the season.
This is a big loss to the Skins secondary, primarily for depth reasons.
