Redskins sign tight end Ernst Brun Jr.

On Sunday, free agent tight end Ernst Brun Jr. announced on Twitter that he’s signed with the Washington Redskins.

The Redskins confirmed the move and announced that they’ve waived running back Silas Redd Jr. and placed tight ends Niles Paul and Logan Paulsen on season ending injured reserve. I would expect Washington to place Redd on injured reserve if he passes through waivers.
