Cornerback Bashaud Breeland isn't expected to return to the Washington Redskins, according to a published report.

J.P. Finley of NBC Sports Washington reported the Redskins' likely decision comes on the heels of Breeland sustaining a cut on his foot that forced a failed physical distinction and allowed the Carolina Panthers to back out of a three-year deal.

The Redskins signed Orlando Scandrick last month to go with Josh Norman, Quinton Dunbar, Fabian Moreau and Josh Holsey on the cornerback depth chart.

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported that Breeland suffered a cut on his foot that became infected, and that he probably would be unable to pass a physical for a few months.

The injury took place earlier in March while Breeland was in the Dominican Republic. Breeland told David Newton of ESPN.com that he cut the back of his left foot and will need to have skin grafted to repair it. He suffered the same injury in the fourth grade and needed a skin graft then.

Breeland, who played college ball at Clemson, recorded 50 tackles and one interception in 15 games last season with the Redskins.
