Offseason question: Is Matt Jones ready to shoulder the load at RB?
Running back Matt Jones is in position to become the Redskins’ go-to guy out of the backfield. (Patrick Semansky/Associated Press)The Washington Redskins seem content to let Alfred Morris depart via free agency, and that means the team will have a new lead running back.
The big question: Who fills that role?
Team officials must decide if Matt Jones, who will enter his second season, is ready to take the next step in his development and take over as that workhorse back, or if they must bring in another option via free agency or the draft.
A third-round pick out of Florida last season, Jones certainly showed flashes both as a ball-carrier and a pass-catcher.
