Bowanko signed a contract with the Redskins on Monday.
Bowanko spent the offseason in New England, and will now provide some much-needed depth to Washington's offensive line. With starting guards Shawn Lauvao (knee) and Brandon Scherff (pectoral) both having suffered season-ending injuries, Bowanko could slot into the starting rotation as early as Sunday's game against the Buccaneers.
