ASHBURN — Safety Montae Nicholson said Thursday he was “extremely grateful” to still be with the Redskins, a week after a 21-year-old woman overdosed at his Loudoun County home and later died at a hospital.
The 23-year-old started Sunday against the New York Jets and interim coach Bill Callahan has not indicated the team plans to withhold Nicholson amid an active investigation into the girl’s death.
Speaking to reporters for the first time since the incident, Nicholson asked for privacy, adding the “week has been extremely hard” on the victim’s friends and family — and on him.
