Mason Foster Could Get First Chance To Start Monday

After two months of waiting, studying and learning, backup Mason Foster’s patience could be rewarded with his first start as a middle linebacker tonight, when the Redskins host the Cowboys on Monday Night Football.

On an occasion that might be slightly overwhelming in the national spotlight, especially in a game that has tremendous stakes against a division rival, the fifth-year veteran has played a lot of football in his career and gained a lot of experience on stages such as this.
