The Redskins have announced their 2012 practice squad:
OT Tom Compton
DE Doug Worthington
TE DeAngelo Peterson
WR Emmanuel Arceneaux
RB Antwon Bailey
LB Darryl Gamble
NT Jason Shirley
FB Robert Hughes
One notable omission is linebacker Markus White, who was a 2011 draft pick who spent all of last season on the 53-man roster. Since he was only active for two games he was eligible for the practice squad.
Update: White has signed with the Bucs practice squad.
