Better/Worse/Neutral: Return Game

Washington loses one of the most electric kickoff returners in the country with the injury to John Ross - do they have enough playmakers elsewhere on the roster to fill that gap?

Returning: Dante Pettis (PR), Deontae Cooper (KR), Jaydon Mickens (PR)

Losses: John Ross (KR)

Additions: Chico McClatcher, Austin Joyner, Myles Gaskin, Andre Baccellia

There are few plays in football as momentum-changing as a kickoff return for a touchdown. Coming (usually) after a score by the other team, taking a kickoff back to the house takes the wind right out of the sails of the kicking team - it feels like a free score, a cheat almost.
