Redskins waived CB Chase Minnifield. The Minnifield cut surprised Redskins beat writers, who'd expected him to make the final 53. Washington is hoping to stash him on its practice squad.

Redskins CB Chase Minnifield (knee) is expected to make the final roster. Minnifield is finally healthy after undergoing his second ACL surgery last June. He'll open the season as the Redskins' fifth cornerback and could eventually see playing time in sub-packages.

Chase Minnifield (ACL surgery) expects to be ready for training camp. Minnifield was a limited participant in the Redskins' mandatory minicamp and hasn't had any setbacks in his recovery from a second ACL surgery. He still isn't 100 percent, but is on track to be medically cleared when camp opens on July 25. Minnifield will have a chance to compete for a backup job if healthy. DeAngelo Hall, Josh Wilson, and E.J. Biggers are considered "locks" for the 53-man roster.

Redskins CB Chase Minnifield (ACL surgery) said that he hopes to participate fully in the team's offseason program. Minnifield may never be able to get over his knee injuries, but he's currently expected to compete for a starting job with E.J. Biggers and Richard Crawford. With the Redskins cornerback situation in flux, it's possible that Minnifield could be a factor in 2013 if he can prove he's healthy. Washington will likely look to add depth in the middle-rounds of the draft.

Redskins CB Chase Minnifield is now experiencing problems with his left knee after tearing his right ACL in last year's minicamps. Dating back to high school, Minnifield has torn the right ACL twice and also undergone a microfracture procedure on that knee. When performing Minnifield's last ACL surgery, Dr. James Andrews used a graft from his left patellar tendon, and now Minnifield is essentially rehabbing both knees. Minnifield "hopes" to be ready for OTAs. The Skins obviously can't count him him for a 2013 role.
