1. The Redskins will have quite a few tough roster decisions to make by Saturday afternoon.
It’s one of the downfalls of building a strong roster. Good players will be let go, likely to land on their feet elsewhere and even face the Redskins down the road.
Earlier this week, the Redskins began their cut down process, releasing veteran linebacker Perry Riley Jr. and Stephen Paea among the 15 roster moves made.
“It takes a lot of thought and a lot of times now when you have the depth that we feel like we have, it’s not so much about the player we release, it’s about the players that we kept,” Redskins head coach Jay Gruden said.
