ASHBURN, Va. (AP) The Washington Redskins have released veteran defensive lineman Cullen Jenkins and waived fifth-round pick Matt Ioannidis to cut down to their initial 53-man roster.

The team announced the moves after the 4 p.m. Saturday deadline.

Washington opted to keep rookie Nate Sudfeld, a sixth-round draft pick out of Indiana, as its third quarterback.

Jenkins was released five days after the Redskins signed him. The 35-year-old played in the preseason finale Wednesday at Tampa Bay.

Along with Ioannidis, the Redskins released guard Josh LeRibeus, a 2012 third-round pick, and tight end Logan Paulsen, who has been with the team since 2010 but missed last season with an injury.

Undrafted rookie defensive lineman Anthony Lanier made the team after an impressive training camp.

The Redskins activated rookie receiver Josh Doctson off the physically unable to perform list.
