Guard Joshua Garnett, a first-round draft pick in 2016 by the San Francisco 49ers, has retired.
The Washington Football Team, his current employer, announced the move on Tuesday.
In a corresponding move, Washington added defensive end Casey Toohill to the active roster. He was claimed off waivers from the Philadelphia Eagles and cleared his mandated six days of pre-entry COVID-19 testing.

He appeared in 25 games (11 starts) in the NFL.
