The Washington Redskins have extended a tender to restricted free agent Duke Ihenacho according to ESPN’s John Keim.
Ihenacho, 26, will be entering his fourth NFL season in 2016 with the last two coming with the Redskins.
The safety originally joined the Redskins after being claimed on waivers before the start of the 2014 season.
He would make his Washington debut on Sept. 7, 2014, playing strictly special teams as he adjusted to his new team following two seasons with the Denver Broncos.
But before the San Jose State product could get into a groove on the East Coast, his season was cut short in Week 3 against the Philadelphia Eagles after suffering a season-ending fractured foot.
