Washington Reportedly Signs TE to Practice Squad, Releases Bee & Thomas from IR

Per Ben Standig of the Athletic, the Washington Football Team is making a move to fortify their practice squad and bring in yet another familiar face to most of the coaching staff.

Washington intends on signing TE Temmarick Hemingway to the PS, per sources. Part of today's workout. Spent last season with Carolina's PS. Familiarity ftw under these conditions. Entered league in 2016. 13 career games played.

Assuming the Hemmingway deal becomes official, it would be the second tight end with the operation that has Carolina Panthers roots.

The 6'5" former sixth-round pick of the Los Angeles Rams spent a few years with them before moving on to Denver and then to Carolina.

He spent last season on Carolina's practice squad and even after Ron Rivera was fired and his Panthers assistants joined him in Washington, Hemmingway stayed in Charlotte.

Until the final cutdown for this year.

Marcus Baugh, who made the Washington 53-man roster also was in Carolina last year before catching on with the Charlotte North crew this offseason.

In addition to Hemmingway, the team announced that defensive lineman Ryan Bee was waived with an injury settlement. He was on injured reserve.

On Tuesday, Washington reportedly did the same with Simeon Thomas, a corner who had been suspended but then apparently had his suspension lifted. He was on reserved/injured with an abdomen injury.
