Will Blackmon, Lynden Trail among Redskins' early cuts
The Washington Redskins released at least nine players Friday, ahead of Saturday's 4 p.m. deadline for final cuts. They were expected to cut at least 15 Friday, though not all the names are yet known.
None of the moves were considered a surprise -- and none have yet been filed with the league, though the players have been told -- though the one noteworthy one was safety Will Blackmon. One source earlier in the week said they'd likely go with six corners and four safeties, which means, barring a surprising turn, rookie corner Josh Holsey would make the roster. Linebacker Lynden Trail was cut but is a strong candidate to be re-signed to the practice squad.
