After the Washington Redskins struggled in the trenches against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Monday night’s 38-16 loss, they sought help in the form of a somewhat familiar face.
The Redskins added veteran defensive end Cullen Jenkins, according to multiple reports. Washington signed the 35-year-old on Aug. 29 and he played in the team’s preseason finale against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, but he was cut on Sept. 3 when the 53-man roster was organized.
Now, the Redskins hope he can help a unit that struggled on Monday. Quarterback Ben Roethlisberger was sacked just one time and the defense did not sustain consistent pressure in the pocket.
