The Washington Football Team will be without their top two quarterbacks against the Baltimore Ravens in the preseason finale. Head coach Ron Rivera will not play Ryan Fitzpatrick and Taylor Heinicke, instead going with Kyle Allen and Steven Montez.
Apparently, Washington will be without most of its starters.
Here are all of Washington’s starters, per Rhiannon Walker of The Athletic.
Washington’s defensive starters:
DE: William Bradley-King
DT: Tim Settle
DT: Devaroe Lawrence
DE: Daniel Wise
OLB: David Mayo
MLB: Khaleke Hudson
OLB: Jordan Kunaszyk
CB: Tory McTyer
CB: Darryl Roberts
SS: Deshazor Everett
FS: Jeremy Reaves https://t.co/fWnkzoFd3q— Rhiannon Walker (@InstantRHIplay) August 28, 2021
One item of note is Peyton Barber starting at running back. You’d think this would be a time for the coaching staff to evaluate rookie Jaret Patterson further.
Is this the latest sign that Patterson’s spot is secure?
Washington is going with Antonio Gandy-Golden, Dax Milne and DeAndre Carter at wide receiver. These three are all fighting for the final one — or two — spots on the roster at receiver.
Another interesting spot is at defensive end. William Bradley-King and Daniel Wise will get the first crack at impressing the coaching staff. Shaka Toney should also see plenty of time, too.
Washington and Baltimore kick off at 6 p.m. EDT.
