Concurrent with last year’s injury debacle is the trove of Washington Redskins players still recovering. The offseason is long, but sometimes, it isn’t long enough for players to reach one-hundred percent.
Luckily, the offseason isn’t over just yet. The regular season doesn’t start for another four weeks, when the Redskins travel to Arizona to take on the Cardinals. Until then, preseason will try its best to pass off as real football. But don’t expect the Redskins to play all their starters if they don’t have to.
The Redskins had already announced that Chris Thompson would not be ready for Week 1 (and further reports insinuated that he might not play at all in preseason), and now, the Redskins have doubled down on that statement, adding two more players to the list.
