Both Washington and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are holding out almost all of their starters tonight. For the Bucs, that includes rookie cornerback Vernon Hargreaves, who’s now definitively beaten out Alterraun Verner. The only non-starters who are being held out with injury are running back Mike James, who’s expected to make the roster, and Devante Bond, the team’s fifth-round pick who may not have sealed the deal quite yet.
Washington is holding out a whopping 26 players tonight, who did not travel to Tampa to come play in the rain. That includes quarterback Kirk Cousins and former Bucs Mason Foster.
