Redskins safety Montae Nicholson arrested, charged with assault
The Washington Redskins have had some trouble with players and legal issues in recent weeks. Today, another incident was brought to light, this time concerning second-year safety Montae Nicholson.
When the Washington Redskins traded for Ha Ha Clinton-Dix earlier in the 2018 season, it was originally thought that Washington would continue to rotate Montae Nicholson into the safety groupings, due to his speed and length.
However, the Redskins sapped almost all of his defensive snaps from the game, and per J.P. Finlay of CBS Mid-Atlantic, the reasoning for Nicholson’s snap decrease was largely contingent on health issues, rather than character issues.
