The Washington Football Team released 27 players over the last two days to meet the league-mandated 53-man roster by Tuesday afternoon.
For the most part, there were no surprises. On Monday, Washington released 10 players, none of which were a surprise. However, on Tuesday, the Football Team released five players who were a bit of a surprise.
The bigger surprises may be Washington keeping just four linebackers on the initial 53-man roster than the actual players released.
Here are five players whose releases could be considered the most surprising on Tuesday.
