Paulescu to become 4th Redskins punter this season
ASHBURN, Va. (AP) The Washington Redskins will use their fourth punter this season when they play the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday.
Hunter Smith's right groin injury is acting up again, so the Redskins plan to sign former Dallas punter Sam Paulescu (poh-LEHS-kyoo) on Friday.
Smith pulled the groin in his kicking leg during the Oct. 4 game vs. Tampa Bay. Kicker Shaun Suisham punted for the rest of that game, then Glenn Pakulak was signed to handle the next two games.
Smith aggravated his injury in the Philadelphia game before last week's bye and was unable to punt when practice resumed this week.
