Ron Rivera Discusses Derrius Guice's Release and Cody Latimer's Future

Washington Football Team coach Ron Rivera spoke about the franchise's decision to release running back Derrius Guice, saying the team takes domestic violence allegations "very, very seriously."

"Anytime you have to release a very talented player it's always a tough decision," Rivera told reporters Monday. "We take those allegations very, very seriously and we had to make a decision. I talked to [Washington's] players yesterday that I made a decision I believe was in the best interest of our organization and if it was the right decision we'll benefit from it and if not it will be on me.
