The Redskins will likely try to place both Mitchel and Thomas on season-ending injured reserve if they clear waivers.

The Redskins have been forced to make some drastic roster moves after losing four defensive backs to injuries within less than a week that include Bashaud Breeland, Dave Amerson, Mitchell and Thomas.
