For their 2019 preseason debut, the Washington Redskins travel to Cleveland to face off against Freddie Kitchens and the Browns. It’s a clash of budding hope and established mediocrity, but in preseason, the storylines never get that deep.
It’s as simple as this: The Redskins and Browns both have 90-man rosters to trim down, and this game is the first of four with which the teams will make their roster fringe decisions. Roster hopefuls will get more playing time, and position battles will be processed. The final score doesn’t matter, but the final whistle does. Because the players have until then to make their case.
