It’s somewhat fitting with the Washington Redskins in evaluation mode that first-round pick Montez Sweat could see a bump in snaps as the season comes to a close.
The unfortunate injury suffered by Ryan Kerrigan resulted in the veteran pass rusher getting moved to injured reserve Friday.
According to Zach Selby of the team’s official website, Redskins coaches have said it means Sweat will see more looks.
Sweat has played on 61 percent of the snaps so far this season, has been steadily improving and has 11 hurries and five sacks so far.
Like the secondary behind him, Sweat will have some live-action chances to improve his game as the Redskins build toward the future.
