Redskins waive center Casey Dunn, sign linebacker Cassanova McKinzy

The Redskins made a curious roster move on Friday in advance of this weekend’s game against the Buccaneers. Despite dealing with numerous injuries on the offensive line, the team elected to waive one of the few healthy players on the squad that had been there the whole year. They parted with Casey Dunn and elected to add Cassanova McKinzy to the active roster at the linebacker position.

Frankly speaking, this move is a weird one, and it’s fair to wonder if the team made a mistake by including Dunn on their 53-man roster.

Dunn’s performance in the preseason was far from stellar, but the undrafted rookie out of Auburn showed signs of being a good technician.
