The Redskins also signed running back Evan Royster to their active roster from their practice squad and added running back Tristan Davis to the practice squad.

Washington claimed Choice after Dallas waived him late last month. He appeared in one game with the Redskins, carrying six times for 7 yards in a 27-24 overtime loss to the Cowboys on Sunday.

The Redskins took Royster in the sixth round of April's draft. Davis was on Washington's practice squad before being released Nov. 8.
