The Washington Redskins and general manager Scot McCloughan announced on Monday that they have released veteran cornerback Chris Culliver from the team.
Culliver was in the process of recovering from a season-ending tear to his right ACL/MCL, the second one in his career, which he suffered during a Thanksgiving Day practice last year.
“Chris is a professional,” McCloughan said on Monday. “This is the tough part for me about this business, is having to do stuff like that, with any player, but especially with him because of the injury.
