Redskins cut edge rusher Noah Spence, sign Carroll Phillips from practice squad

For the second time this season, the Washington Redskins are switching up the fourth man in their edge rushing rotation.

To start the season, preseason star Cassanova McKinzy served as the option behind Ryan Kerrigan, Montez Sweat, and Ryan Anderson at the rush linebacker position for the Redskins. After he suffered an injury that landed him on IR, the team signed former Buccaneers second-round pick Noah Spence to serve in that role.

And now, Spence’s time with the team has come to an end.

The Redskins officially announced that they had cut Spence on Tuesday afternoon.
