The Washington Redskins have decided to sit veteran corner Josh Norman on Sunday against the Detroit Lions.
This comes a week after interim coach Bill Callahan benched Norman and a few others near the end of a loss to the New York Jets. It also comes a mere days after defensive coordinator Greg Manusky didn’t have many nice things to say about Norman’s play.
The Redskins are in full-blown evaluation mode with the season lost. But it’s hard not to think about the future with a move like this. Norman has one year left on his deal and would save north of $12 million by parting ways with him this offseason.
Rest assured regardless of what happens during Sunday’s tilt with the Lions, this will be one of the biggest stories.
Washington CB Josh Norman will be a healthy scratch today, as @ErinHawksworth also said. Inactive.
