Ever since Kory Lichtensteiger missed 11 games last season, the Washington Redskins have been seeking dependable depth at the center position.
Josh LeRibeus transitioned from guard to center last preseason and started in Lichtensteiger’s absence but was inconsistent. Spencer Long, who started 13 games at left guard in 2015 while Shawn Lauvao was out with a left ankle injury, has been tasked with learning the position this preseason. The Redskins also have Austin Reiter, who was drafted in the seventh round last year and spent the entire season on the practice squad.
