Redskins preparing to see familiar faces in Falcons’ Leonard Hankerson and Chris Chester

It will be a reunion of sorts on Sunday when the Washington Redskins square off against Atlanta Falcons, who have a number of former Redskins on the team. Along with offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan and quarterbacks coach Matt LaFleur, wide receiver Leonard Hankerson and guard Chris Chester both play significant roles for the Falcons offense.

Hankerson, the Redskins’ third-round pick in 2011, is second on the Falcons with 241 receiving yards and two touchdowns. He’s averaging 60.3 yards per game, serving as the team’s second-leading receiver behind Julio Jones. The Miami product failed to remain healthy during his four years with the Redskins.
