ASHBURN — There was a time when Spencer Long was ticketed for the starting right guard position on the Washington Redskins’ offensive line, back in the dog days of training camp, after the team released Chris Chester in June.
Without Chester, who started at right guard the last four seasons, Long played the position next to rookie Brandon Scherff, then playing right tackle.
