The Washington Redskins on Wednesday signed cornerbacks Bryan McCann and DreQuan Hoskey and waived cornerback Tevin Mitchel and safety Phillip Thomas.
Mitchel was designated as injured.
The Redskins are short cornerbacks since Bashaud Breeland and David Amerson both were injured. Breeland suffered a sprained MCL on Friday and is expected to miss at least the season opener. Amerson suffered a minor shoulder injury on Sunday.
McCann has played in 35 games with the Baltimore Ravens, Dallas Cowboys, Oakland Raiders, Miami Dolphins and Arizona Cardinals.
Hoskey, an undrafted rookie out of Virginia, participated in the Redskins’ rookie minicamp in May.
