ASHBURN, Va. (AP) — The Washington Redskins have activated receiver Leonard Hankerson from the Physically Unable to Perform list.

The Redskins also waived cornerback Chase Minnifield on Tuesday.

Hankerson injured his left knee nearly a year ago and underwent reconstructive surgery.

The fourth-year player has 81 catches since he was drafted in the third round by the Redskins in 2011.
