ASHBURN, Va. -- After absorbing several injury blows, the Washington Redskins signed hard-hitter Donte Whitner to bring some experience and physicality to their defense.The Redskins signed the three-time Pro Bowl safety on Wednesday, putting concussed David Bruton on injured reserve.They also signed former Jacksonville Jaguars safety Josh Evans and released defensive lineman Kendall Reyes.Whitner has 856 tackles in 10 seasons with the Buffalo Bills, San Francisco 49ers and Cleveland Browns. He spent the past two seasons with the Browns, who released him in April just before offseason workouts began, giving him an extra source of motivation.The 31-year-old believes someone in Clevelands front office had a personal vendetta against him for waiting so long to cut him. Whitner said that cost him job opportunities over the past few months.Ive always played the game with a chip on my shoulder, but I think it adds to it, Whitner said.Over the last 10 years playing in the National Football League, knowing where youre going to play, then you get slapped in the face with a release on like the last day of free agency before you report to offseason training, its really a slap in the face. If I was sleepwalking or anything before, Im definitely woke now and ready to play the game.Whitner said he turned down an offer from the Los Angeles Rams because he wanted a one-year deal.He also worked out for the New York Giants, but ultimately decided to sign with the Redskins, who are banged up all over their defense but especially in the secondary.Bruton and linebacker Sua Cravens were concussed Sunday against the Browns, and cornerbacks Bashaud Breeland and Dashaun Phillips missed the game with injuries. Safety DeAngelo Hall is out for the season with a torn ACL in his right knee.Coach Jay Gruden said the decisions to put Bruton on IR and release Reyes had to do with the bevy of injuries Washington is dealing with and the lack of available roster spots.Obviously Dontes resume speaks for itself, Gruden said. He brings some veteran leadership and knowledge of the position, and were hoping that he can fill in quickly.Whitner said its his goal to study the playbook and be ready to play Sunday at the Baltimore Ravens. His new teammates arent worried about him getting up to speed in time, as receiver Pierre Garcon described Whitner as a plug-and-play type of guy.Hes been around for a long time, Garcon said. You dont have to explain everything down to details. He just knows. Hes been there, hes been around and he has the experience.Linebacker Will Compton said he grew up watching Whitner and likes that he brings a physicality mindset to the defense. Whitner considers himself a professional hitter, and his reputation precedes him.I dont think you lose that explosiveness or you learn how to want contact or physical contract overnight, Whitner said.Thats why they call me `Hitner. Thats why my name is `Hitner because thats what I like to do. I dont think you lose that.Signing Whitner and Evans fills holes at safety, but Washington still looks thin on the defensive line after Kedric Golston was lost for the season with a hamstring injury and Reyes was released.Gruden said it wasnt anything Reyes, a free agent signing in the offseason, did wrong as much as it was a numbers game.We felt like the guys in-house at the defensive line position were adequate and playing good enough and it was a spot that was expendable, basically, Gruden said.Game notes CB Josh Norman said he was fined $10,000 by the NFL for his bow and arrow celebration Sunday and that hes appealing. ... Gruden said Breeland (ankle), linebacker Cravens (concussion), WR Josh Doctson (Achilles) and CB Dashaun Phillips (hamstring) did not practice. LB Ryan Kerrigan (elbow), G Shawn Lauvao (ankle), DE Chris Baker (toe) and LT Trent Williams (knee) were limited. Gruden said theres a chance Breeland plays against the Ravens and has no idea if Cravens will be available.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL Twitter feed: www.twitter.com/AP-NFLCheap Vapormax 97 .com) - The game was all punts and field goals before Kodi Whitfields catch.
