August 28-- Salave'a comeback is over
The Skins released DT Joe Salave'a as one of the final 4 roster moves to get down to the mandatory 75..
Salave'a struggled with the death of his mother last season and then nagging injuries to his foot and calf.. He was considered a longshot during the off-season to make the roster but then went with Renaldo Wynn to Las Vegas, got involved in a strict training program with a former "World's Strongest Man" competitor..
Salave'a came back and appeared to have made some headway to steal a roster spot, but that ended today..
The team also placed WR Jason McAddeley (hamstring) and G Ross Tucker (neck) on injured reserve..
They waived injured fullback Pete Schmidt..
The Redskins roster now stands at 75, they must release 22 players this weekend to get down to 53..

I know big Joe has struggled and the unexpected contributions of Montgomery and Golston over the past couple of years make him expendable, but I'm sad to see him go.
Couldn't they have just cut Pinkston twice?
Joe was a great guy.. It's too bad.. But the team has some youth and ability on the DL.. It's a good sign things may be looking up for a group that took a lot of heat
Yeah, too bad about Big Joe. He will remain one of my favorites. His dog and the hydrant move is a classic!
