Storyline of the week

Starters rest: Washington coach Ron Rivera made the decision to rest all of his starters in the preseason finale against Baltimore. While many fans were concerned about the lack of production from the first-team offense this summer, Rivera felt he’d seen enough. He said after the game he didn’t want to risk any injuries. No one will remember a 37-3 preseason loss in two weeks.

Rookie watch

Washington’s top four rookies – LB

Jamin Davis, RT Sam Cosmi, CB Benjamin St-Juste and WR Dyami Brown – are all expected to either start or have considerab­le roles in 2021. Therefore, no one played in the preseason finale. Cosmi, St-Juste and Brown all stood out this summer. Davis is still learning on the job. Fifth-round pick and safety Darrick Forrest missed the final preseason game with a hamstring injury. Undrafted rookie rookie RB Jaret Patterson was the story of training camp. He was quiet in the preseason finale, though he had an impressive blitz pickup, something the coaches wanted to see.
