Football Team's Jeremy Reaves: Receives promotion

Washington signed Reaves to the active roster Tuesday, Kyle Stackpole of the team's official site reports.

Reaves was on the practice squad but received a promotion following news that Landon Collins (torn Achilles) is done for the year. The 24-year-old safety played 11 games for Washington over the previous two seasons, recording 15 tackles and a pass breakup. He'll operate in a reserve role on defense, as Kamren Curl is in line for a starting role at strong safety.
