Washington plans to sign TE Temarrick Hemingway to the practice squad, a source confirmed (1st by @BenStandig). The former Rams 6th-round pick played 8 games for L.A. (2016) and 5 for Denver ('18) but was used almost entirely on special teams. He was on Carolina's PS in 2019.

Washington is signing two new offensive weapons to the practice squad in wide receiver Jeff Badet, and TE Temarrick Hemingway. Both players are young offensive talents that could potentially have a chance to play down the line.
Badet is a speedy receiver who was the fourth overall pick in the 2020 XFL Draft, and his 4.27 40-yard-dash time is among the top in the NFL. After a solid college career at the University of Oklahoma, Badet went undrafted in the 2018 NFL Draft, but signed with the Minnesota Vikings where he has played in a number of preseason games, but he is yet to find the field in the regular season.
Hemingway knows his way around an NFL locker room, as he was drafted by the Los Angeles Rams in the sixth round in 2016. He played eight games in LA, and then moved to Denver in 2018 where he played mostly special teams. He will now have the chance to fight his way onto the active roster under Pete Hoener in Washington.
