The Washington Redskins open training camp July 27 at the Bon Secours Washington Redskins Training Center in Richmond, Virginia. Here's a 53-man roster projection:

The roles are clearly defined, with Cousins starting, McCoy the trusted backup and Sudfeld the developmental choice. Cousins will be playing under the franchise tag and might be elsewhere in 2018, so Sudfeld's growth will be worth watching. But as of now, McCoy is the clear replacement.

Last season, Matt Jones was the starter. But, barring multiple injuries, he's a long shot to make the roster. His inability, or lack of desire, to play special teams doesn't help, and his fumbles and inconsistent running style leave him behind Kelley & Co.
