With the Redskins’ first regular season matchup against the Cardinals just four days away, the team has released their first depth chart after the roster was cut down from 90 to 53 players this weekend.
The Redskins chose to not go with 3 QBs again this year. Third stringer Kevin Hogan was released and then claimed by the Denver Broncos. They cut former 1st round pick Paxton Lynch to make room for him. Newly-extended Colt McCoy's spot as backup QB was never in doubt, and he will switch from backing up Kirk Cousins the last few seasons to being the clipboard holder behind Alex Smith.
