A report came out early this morning that second-year safety Su’a Cravens was pondering retirement. On the heels of that report, we now have word that Cravens has been placed on the non-football exempt list. In his freed up roster spot, the Redskins have placed veteran offensive lineman T.J. Clemmings, who was waived from the Vikings earlier this week.
The Redskins’ decision to land Su’a Cravens on the NFI list ensures that the former Trojan will miss at least the first month of the season. It also gives Cravens more time to think about his decision.
