From NFL.com:
The Redskins released 12 players on Monday, officially reaching the 75-player roster limit, the team announced. The NFL deadline for reaching the limit was Tuesday at 4 p.m. ET.

The 12 players released were:
  • OL Jon Alston
  • QB Casey Bramlet
  • DB Antuan Edwards
  • TE Robert Johnson
  • OL Jim Jones
  • K Tyler Jones
  • P David Lonie
  • DL Chris Mineo
  • TE Calen Powell
  • DL Karon Riley
  • LB Kevin Simon
  • DB Aric Williams
Perhaps the biggest surprise on the list was tight end Robert Johnson, the 6-6, 278-pounder who joined the team in 2005. Johnson had shown flashes of potential in off-season work, and he made several nice catches during the Aug. 6 scrimmage against the Ravens. Johnson suffered an ankle injury in the Week 2 preseason game against the Jets and did not play against the New England Patriots last Saturday night.
Another player released was seventh-round draft pick Kevin Simon, a 5-11, 234-pound linebacker who never was able to get on the field in preseason. During training camp, Simon suffered a stomach injury and he fell behind other young linebackers Rocky McIntosh, a second-round draft pick, and Spencer Havner, an undrafted rookie.

That stinks about KS and Johnson. Living in Alabama, got a lot of exposure to Johnson, he was a great asset for AU. Too bad for both.
