The Redskins have elevated three players from the practice squad and signed one street free agent.

Wide receiver Marques Hagans, a former Virginia Cavalier, offensive lineman Rueben Riley and defensive back Michael Grant were elevated from the Redskins 2008 practice squad to their 2009 offseason roster.

The Redskins also signed fullback Jeremy Cain, who has spent time with the Chicago Bears, Tennessee Titans, and Philadelphia Eagles. Cain will backup 2009 Pro Bowler Mike Sellers.
