Wednesday, August 31st
NFL Preseason
Redskins at Buccaneers (-3, 36.5) - 8 pm ET (NFL Network)
This game was originally scheduled for Thursday, but in anticipation of severe weather, the NFL decided to move this game up a day.
Washington will start rookie quarterback Nate Sudfeld, and he’s expected to play the majority if not all of this game: “I mean it’s not ideal to do a game a little bit early just because it kind of messes with your process of what you study each day.” Head coach Jay Gruden will not bring the majority of his starters to Tampa for this game: “We will see how we come out of this game health-wise, that’s number one.”
Tampa Bay head coach Dirk Koetter said most starters will get tonight off as Tampa Bay closes its preseason schedule. He will also be conservative in protecting established players, leaving a mix of backups and players who will be cut between now Saturday’s deadline.
This is basically a glorified practiced for both of these teams, so there is no edge in tonight’s game.
