The Redskins did the expected today and placed defensive end Adam Carriker and linebacker Brian Orakpo on injured reserve.

Neither player got the designated for return label, which means both are out for the rest of the season.

To fill their roster spots, the Redskins promoted defensive end Doug Worthington from their own practice squad, and signed linebacker Markus White off the Buccaneers practice squad.

They also signed defensive lineman Dominique Hamilton to the practice squad.

Worthington spent most of last year on their practice squad, while White was drafted by the Redskins in last year’s seventh round, and went to Tampa Bay after the Redskins waived him in final cuts this year.
