Redskins still have holes to fill in the secondary

BOCA RATON, Fla. – The Washington Redskins added safety David Bruton and re-signed cornerback Will Blackmon and Duke Ihenacho, but they’ve still got work to do in the secondary. Washington is thin at the position and while Coach Jay Gruden didn’t have a specific number of players he wants in the secondary on the 90-man roster, he said there’s room for “quite a few more” defensive backs.

“We have to address those two spots quickly,” Gruden said on Wednesday at the NFL’s annual meeting. “We have some young guys that played on the practice [squad] that we feel good about, but we’d like to add an experienced player with some more young guys.
