The Redskins' somewhat surprisingly opted to waive Sudfeld on Saturday, Rich Tandler of CSNMidAtlantic reports.
Sudfeld, a 2016 sixth-round pick, was expected to be a project for the Redskins. While Colt McCoy held a firm grasp on the team's backup role behind Kirk Cousins, the team still kept Sudfeld on its 53-man roster last season. However, he seemingly has not made enough progress for the team to go the same route again this season. The 23-year-old is a strong candidate to land on the practice squad should he clear waivers.
