Redskins place S Horton on IR

Ashburn, VA (Sportsbooks) - The Washington Redskins placed safety Chris Horton on injured reserve Wednesday.

Horton suffered ligament damage in his toe during Sunday's 31-17 loss to the Falcons. He had started five of eight games for Washington this season, totaling 36 tackles, three passes defended and a fumble recovery.

The club re-signed running back Quinton Ganther to take his roster spot, while Fred Smoot and LeRon Landry could see time in at strong safety.
