Myers

The move clears a roster spot for RB Tim Hightower. An undrafted free agent out of Utah State last season, Myers appeared in one game after being signed off the practice squad in December. The fact that Myers was waived at this stage of the offseason suggests he won’t be invited back to the Redskins’ practice squad.

Myers was just added to the practice squad on Monday. He takes the place of Dominique Byrd as a blocking tight end.

Butler has bounced around to a half-dozen teams after entering the league out of Michigan last year. Myers, undrafted out of Utah State, was signed to a reserve/futures contract back in January.

The Utah State alum suffered a rib injury early in camp, and we’re assuming it was a fracture. Myers, 25, never had a realistic chance of making the club.
