A few days after calling him up from the practice squad, the Redskins cut cornerback Dashaun Phillips on Monday.
Phillips started two games in September and opened the season as the team’s top nickel cornerback but he was benched, then released in mid-November before being added back to the practice squad.
Phillips also played in six games last year for the Redskins. This season, he hadn’t played in a game since September and was inactive for Sunday’s game at Arizona.
No corresponding roster move was announced, but offensive tackle Trent Williams is eligible to return this week from suspension.
