The Washington Redskins will begin the year with Matt Jones as their opening-day starter at running back. Jones has done little to inspire confidence in his rise up the depth chart, and appears to have won the starting job by default rather than on his own merit. The Redskins ensured that Jones would not face a veteran challenge this year by jettisoning Alfred Morris earlier this offseason. The team then spared Jones from any competition for his spot by naming him the starter early during training camp. This came as a bit of a surprise for someone facing numerous questions entering his second year.
