The Washington Football Team made a surprise cut earlier this week, releasing tight end Temarrick Hemingway two weeks into the preseason.
Although Hemingway only recorded one reception last season, many believed the fifth-year tight end had the inside track on being the second tight end on the roster, behind last year’s breakout star Logan Thomas.
But, Hemingway struggled in the first preseason game against the New England Patriots, recording no offensive statistics.
