The Washington Redskins are choosing to play it safe on Sunday and give a couple of their best players some time to recover as the offseason waits just days away.
According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the Redskinw will choose to sit both wide receivers Terry McLaurin and safety Landon Collins against the Dallas Cowboys this upcoming week. McLaurin was diagnosed with a concussion late in last Sunday’s game against the New York Giants, and Collins has been dealing with a shoulder injury for a couple of weeks now.
With the Redskins possessing no incentive to win against the Cowboys, and actually a rather large incentive to lose, it makes sense to rest some of the star players who factor directly into the future of the franchise. Unfortunately for fans, the depleted roster and low stakes will likely lead to a highly unwatchable game against a division rival to close out 2019. Just what we needed to end a tumultuous regular season.
