Arie Kouandjio to start for Washington Redskins 8 days after signing with NFL team

Eight days after signing with Washington, Arie Kouandjio is scheduled to make his third NFL start when the Redskins visit the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday.

Kouandjio rejoined the Redskins on Oct. 28 and played 22 snaps at guard the next day in Washington's 33-19 loss to the Dallas Cowboys.

Kouandjio didn't go into the game unfamiliar with the Redskins' offense, though. Washington selected Kouandjio out of Alabama in the fourth round of the 2015 NFL Draft, and he played in nine games in two seasons. The Redskins released him at the end of the preseason in September, and he was on the Baltimore Ravens' practice squad until returning to Washington.
