Washington Redskins 2019 NFL outlook: Schedule, players to watch & more
Published September 05, 2019
The Washington Redskins are in an interesting predicament at quarterback. The team is going with Case Keenum to start the season and using rookie Dwayne Haskins as the backup while Alex Smith attempts to come back from a serious leg injury suffered this season.
Washington lost Jamison Crowder to the New York Jets and will have to rely even more heavily on Jordan Reed, Paul Richardson, and rookie Terry McLaurin.
Running back Derrius Guice is healthy coming into the 2019 season and is likely to get most of the carries with Adrian Peterson and Chris Thompson behind him.
Also, let's not forget the Trent Williams holdout that is still looming large over the team. It's unclear at this point whether the Redskins will trade or re-sign him.
Defensively, the Redskins received a major upgrade at safety with the signing of Landon Collins from the rival New York Giants. Collins and Josh Norman in the secondary are going to be dangerous for opposing quarterbacks trying to get the ball down the field.
However, the Redskins let three of its top tacklers go, which gives Daron Payne and Matt Ioannidis an opportunity to see what they can do on the defensive line.
Read below for more about the Redskins heading into the 2019 season.
