ASHBURN, Va. -- The Washington Redskins’ starters won’t play Wednesday, making the final preseason game seem even less relevant. Except, of course, to the handful of players still trying to win a roster spot. There’s a good chance the Redskins know almost all the players they’ll keep on the final 53-man roster.
But, just in case, Wednesday night's game at Tampa Bay provides a handful of players the chance to change minds -- or improve their standing. Redskins coach Jay Gruden said “eight or nine” spots remain undecided. That likely means they could be leaning one way, but it’s not firm.
