Report: Redskins worked out former Jets, AAF LB Dylan Donahue

Former Jets’ LB Dylan Donahue, whom the NFL has reinstated after he drove the wrong way in the Lincoln tunnel and got a DWI, just finished tryouts with the Raiders and Redskins as he tries to return to the league. Donahue last played for the AAF’s Atlanta team.

The Washington Redskins are one of two teams to reportedly take a look at free-agent linebacker Dylan Donahue.

According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the Redskins and Oakland Raiders hosted the former 2017 fifth-round pick as he attempts a comeback.

Donahue got hurt during his rookie season, then got arrested twice for DWI, one of those instances mentioned above. The NFL hit him with a 14-game suspension and he surfaced in the AAF with the Atlanta Legends.

Now looking to re-enter the league, Donahue is back and making the rounds.

These Redskins have a need at the position from a depth standpoint and some coaching turnover for the unit doesn’t hurt, either. Donahue flashed some promise before off-field missteps, so the Redskins were content with giving him an audition.
