Since the NFL instituted a Designated For Return tag to the Injured Reserve list, it has become almost a foregone conclusion for NFL teams to utilize it. The Washington Redskins are no different this year, as they chose to bring back a player who has spent most of the year on the IR. Kory Lichtensteiger was the player that the team chose to bring back, according to their official Twitter.
The team also signed Dashaun Phillips to an open spot on the practice squad, but that was not the move that will correspond to adding Lichtensteiger.
