The Redskins need to mix things up on special teams, and they did so Tuesday.

As a result of the season-ending knee injuries suffered by long snapper Nick Sundberg and linebacker Bryan Kehl, the two were placed on injured reserve today, the team announced. They also released safety Jordan Pugh.

To fill those roster spots, they signed long snapper Kyle Nelson, linebacker Josh Hull and safety Trenton Robinson.

Hull, a former Penn State linebacker, had been with the Rams. Robinson was just released from the Eagles practice squad. Nelson has been with six teams since 2011, filling in for six games last year with the Chargers after an injury.
