Torrence, 6-0, 183 pounds, is in his second NFL season out of Stanford. Originally signed as an undrafted free agent in 2005 by Green Bay, he was waived by the Packers and signed with Atlanta prior to the start of the regular season. He saw action in 10 games in 2005 with the Falcons, playing on special teams and in the secondary. He was waived by the Falcons prior to the start of the 2006 season.

In addition, the Redskins have signed offensive tackle Calvin Armstrong and wide receiver Ryan Hoag to the practice squad.
