The Washington Redskins lost a contested battle against the New England Patriots in Week 1 of preseason, but no one afforded the score a second glance. After all, the main goal of preseason isn’t to win. It’s to stay healthy, and to find clarity on a chaotic 90-man roster.
Unfortunately, Washington struggled to meet either of those goals in their 2018 preseason opener. In the first half, Derrius Guice suffered a knee injury that would ultimately end his season, Manasseh Garner suffered a similar injury, Trey Quinn left after being rattled, and Matt Ioannidis experienced a setback to his knee as well.
