Redskins sign safety Schweigert Washington, D.C. (Sports Network) - The Washington Redskins signed free agent
safety Stuart Schweigert, the team announced on Monday.
To make room for Schweigert, the Redskins released linebacker Rian Wallace.

Jason Campbell is looking comfortable and could have a successful season in new head coach Jim Zorn's offense, reports ESPN.com. Campbell was successful running a similar offense in college at Auburn.
Our View:Campbell was making great progress before injuring his knee in week 13 of the 2007 NFL season. He completed 60% of his passes and had 12 touchdowns compared to 11 interceptions. If he can improve a bit under Zorn, Campbell will be a legitimate option as a fantasy quarterback.
Right tackle Jon Jansen is expected to rejoin the starting lineup following a painful double injury that he incurred in the season opener last season against Miami, according to Pro Football Weekly. Jansen reportedly is in good shape following rehab of his broken right leg and dislocated right ankle.
Our View:Jansen still has a ways to go before he’s completely healthy, but his return will be welcome considering the team was decimated on the right side of the offensive line last year. Jansen and right guard Randy Thomas missed a combined 28 starts last season due to injuries.
The Washington Redskins have signed rookie defensive end Rob Jackson to an undisclosed contract, according to the Washington Post.
Our View:Jackson is a seventh-round pick out of Kansas State, who was credited with 61 tackles and 6.5 sacks in two collegiate seasons. He was honorable mention All-Big 12 as a senior last season.
