Releasing Orlando Scandrick:
Gruden to the podium. He confirms the team has released veteran DB Orlando Scandrick. They’ve seen enough from the young guys to feel confident with who they have, especially Moreau at nickel. They need to get him reps, hence releasing Scandrick now.

Jay Gruden at the podium now. Mentions Adonis Alexander, Danny Johnson and the emergence of Moreau at nickel factored into the decision to release Scandrick so he can find a new team before the season starts. #Redskins

Gruden emphasizes that Fabian Moreau needed more reps at nickel and moving on from Scandrick opens that opportunity.
