RICHMOND — Five years removed from his college days at the University of Richmond, cornerback Justin Rogers still refers to the city, the last in which he had a steady role on a football team, as home.
Mere miles away from the familiarity of that campus, Rogers is now vying for a more permanent spot with the Washington Redskins than he’s found during his time bouncing around the league. After a series of injuries hit the team’s secondary, Rogers is suddenly getting first-team reps and competing for an unexpected chance to make the opening roster.
