The Redskins signed safety Lendy Holmes, defensive ends Rob Jackson and J.D. Skolnitsky, fullback Eddie Williams and receiver Trent Shelton to the practice squad. They still have three spots available. Defensive tackle Antonio Dixon would have been an option, but the Philadelphia Eagles claimed him.
Shelton has spent time on practice squads in Indianapolis and Seattle. Jackson was on the active roster last year while Williams was a draft pick this past April.
