The Thursday night Washington Redskins preseason finale is nominally a battle against the Jacksonville Jaguars. The true reality though will be a battle for the final remaining roster slots available before Saturday's mandatory cut to regular season roster.
The obvious highlight if not the most important one will be the battle for third string quarterback between Colt Brennan and Chase Daniel. After an opening series for Jason Campbell, Brennan and Daniel will be left to put in their final arguments to remain as Redskins. Of course, all ties go to Brennan so Daniel's fate won't necessarily be in his own hands. If Brennan plays well, Daniel will have to look for a slot somewhere else.
Elsewhere, Shaun Suisham and Dave Rayner will have to chance to break their tie for the sole available kicking slot while Marcus Mason will need to impress on special teams to make the roster as an extra running back. These battles and more will be featured starting at 7:30 p.m. on WRC/4, Comcast SportsNet and WTEM/980.Labels: pro football, sports, washington redskins
