ASHBURN, Va. -- The Washington Football Team opens the 2021 NFL regular season on Sept. 12 against the Los Angeles Chargers at FedEx Field. Washington finished the 2020 season 7-9, good for first place in the NFC East.
Washington has, finally, constructed a roster with more depth. It has taken a few years to reach this point, but it will cut players from multiple spots who appeal to other teams, which hasn't been the case in recent seasons. There aren't a lot of questions about starting jobs, but the most difficult spots to cut were defensive back and wide receiver, where the team added veterans Curtis Samuel and Adam Humphries and drafted Dyami Brown.
