Welcome back, Jon!

The Washington Redskins announced that they have re-signed linebacker Jon Bostic.

Bostic entered the National Football League after being selected in the second round (18th pick, 50th overall) of the 2013 NFL Draft by the Chicago Bears.

He signed with Washington on Sunday, after Reuban Foster went down with a torn ACL.

The 28-year-old also has played for the New England Patriots, Detroit Lions, Indianapolis Colts, and Pittsburgh Steelers.

In 2019, Bostic started all 16 games in which he appeared, tallying a career-high 105 total tackles, 56 of them solo, while leading all linebackers. He also had one sack, one interception, two passes defended and three tackles for loss.

Before he was drafted, Bostic played at the University of Florida, where he appeared in 51 games while making 32 starts.

Former Washington Mystics star Elena Delle Donne and former Washington linebacker London Fletcher were among those inducted into the D.C. Sports Hall of Fame during a Sunday ceremony at Nationals Park. They were joined by W.T. Woodson High School and Duke University alumnus Tommy Amaker, George Washington University softball star and Olympic gold medalist Elana Meyers Taylor and legendary Maryland high school football coach Al Thomas. Also, the University of Maryland's men's basketball team that won the 2002 national championship were honored with the Hall of Fame's Team of Distinction. Legendary coach Gary Williams coached the Maryland Terrapins to their only title in school history with the help of basketball stars Juan Dixon, Lonny Baxter and Steve Blake. Williams, who was inducted into the D.C. Sports Hall of Fame in 2015, told WTOP that he is elated about the team being among the all-time D.C. sports greats. "It's great for our team," Williams said. "For our team to do something together at this point is always a great thing, and this is the 25th anniversary of the championship. So that makes this a little bit more special."
