Vigil hade 59 tackles (41 solo) and two interceptions in seven games for the Redskins in 2017.
EDGE Analysis
Vigil signed with Washington in mid-November and initially had a limited role defensively, but earned more opportunities as the team's injuries mounted towards the end of the year. The 26-year-old took advantage with 47 tackles and both interceptions in the final four games of the season. Vigil is under contract through 2018, while fellow inside linebackers Zach Brown and Mason Foster are slated for free agency, leaving a sizable hole in the middle of the Redskins defense should they not be retained.

Vigil recorded eight tackles (six solo) and a pass defensed in Sunday's win over the Cardinals.
EDGE Analysis
Vigil, who signed with Washington a month ago, played all 85 of the team's defensive snaps Sunday. The linebacker has seen increased reps each week spent with the team given the injuries to Will Compton (foot) and Mason Foster (shoulder).

Vigil (neck) wasn't included on the Redskins' injury report Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Vigil departed the Redskins' previous game Nov. 30 with the injury, but with the last five days off to heal up, the neck issue doesn't look to be anything that will prevent him from playing Sunday versus the Chargers. The linebacker, who recorded a season-high six tackles last week, could start on the inside this week if either Zach Brown (hamstring/Achilles) or Martrell Spaight (ankle) is unavailable.

Vigil signed a contract with the Redskins on Wednesday, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Vigil will help the Redskins restore some depth at inside linebacker with Will Compton (foot) joining Mason Foster (shoulder) on injured reserve earlier this week. Though he has familiarity with the Redskins' defensive scheme after appearing in two games with the team in 2016, Vigil is expected to serve largely in a special-teams role to begin his latest stint with Washington.

Vigil was waived by the Dolphins on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Vigil began the season on the Dolphins' NFI list. He has solely played special team's since his return and, as such, his absence shouldn't be expected to have much of any impact on the defense. He was waived to open a roster spot for linebacker Trevor Reilly.

Vigil (back) will make his season debut Sunday against the Jets.
EDGE Analysis
Vigil, who was placed on the Dolphins' NFI list in August, figures to provide depth at linebacker as well as special teams contributions. In 16 games with Miami during the 2015 season, he recorded just 18 tackles (15 solo) during his rookie campaign.

Vigil (back) has been removed from the Dolphins NFI list.
EDGE Analysis
Vigil was placed on the list back in August due to a nagging back injury, but was able to return to practice in mid-October and will now be eligible for game action. Once he returns, he will provide linebacker depth and special teams contributions for Miami.
