It did not have a proven starter, with Troy Apke, Deshazor Everett and Jeremy Reaves all starting at some point last season. Washington also had signed veteran Sean Davis last offseason,
Prospect Spotlight: Who is Nelson Lokombo? Ron Rivera has the Super Bowl on his mind, and he is ready to look anywhere that he can find players to help him.
