The Washington Redskins must cut their roster to 53 by 4 p.m. ET Saturday, Sept. 1. Here’s a final 53-man roster projection:
The Redskins have two experienced quarterbacks who are signed beyond this season, reducing the need for a developmental player at this position. Smith missed two games to injuries in five years with Kansas City, and McCoy has been in this offense for five seasons. Keeping only two quarterbacks enables them to keep an extra player at another position.
This is the hardest position to call because it could leave the Redskins without a backup for Thompson, coming off a broken fibula.
