Redskins sign LB Garrett Sickels, waive FB/TE Elijah Wellman

The Redskins made another minor roster move on Thursday as they continue to prepare their 90-man roster for the start of the preseason. According to the team’s official Twitter account, they added Garrett Sickels to their active roster while waiving Elijah Wellman.

Sickels, 24, went undrafted after coming into the league in 2017. In his final season at Penn State, he had a career-high 6.5 sacks and some anticipated that he could be drafted. However, because of his status as a positional tweener and likely fit as a 3-4 rush linebacker, that limited his options. So, he fell to the ranks of the undrafted.
