Lanier (hip) was waived by Washington on Monday, Jake Kring-Schreifels of the Redskins' official site reports.
It's a bit of a surprising move by the Redskins, considering Lanier was impressive in a limited showing last season while registering five sacks over the final seven games. The third-year pro has been dealing with a hip flexor over the past few days, so there is a chance he may end up back on the Redskins' injured reserve list should he clear waivers.
