After Month Away From Game, Joel Stave Signs With Redskins

One month and one day after being waived by the Kansas City Chiefs, quarterback Joel Stave was signed by the Washington Redskins, joining the team as a practice squad member last week.

Ever since his senior season at Wisconsin in 2015, Stave has bounced around the league, appearing on the rosters of four NFL teams since May of 2016. Going undrafted in the 2016 NFL Draft, Stave signed with the Minnesota Vikings as a practice squad member and has since made stops in Seattle and Kansas City.

Throughout a “frustrating” month of September, Stave went back to his roots in the Milwaukee area, spending time with his dad and even trying his hand at woodworking to pass the time.
