"The Washington Redskins have waived rookie cornerback Brandyn Thompson to make room on the 53-man roster for newly claimed running back Tashard Choice, according to a person familiar with the move.

Thompson, whom Washington drafted in the seventh round out of Boise State, was promoted from the practice squad last Friday as an insurance policy for Sunday's game because defensive backs DeAngelo Hall and Phillip Buchanon were both banged up. But Thompson didn't play in the 23-0 loss to the Buffalo Bills."
