It’s been a clouded situation surrounding Washington Redskins’ safety Montae Nicholson, who is currently cooperating with the police as he is connected to the death of a 21-year-old woman who overdosed last week.

Nicholson played in last Sunday’s game, and he spoke with the media on Thursday for the first time, explaining the situation and extending his deepest sympathies to the woman’s family. He said that he found her unresponsive in his bathroom, and he took her to the hospital that night.

Head coach Bill Callahan said on Wednesday that as of now, Nicholson is scheduled to play this week.

Asked about Montae Nicholson, Bill Callahan wishes deep sympathies to the young woman’s family but says he can’t provide much more information. As of now, Nicholson is scheduled to play.
