At the beginning of the 2017 season, the Redskins unexpectedly lost Su’a Cravens for the season. The second year man out of USC was expected to play a big role as a starting safety in the defense, but he ended up leaving the team just before Week 1. At the time, it was reported that he was considering retirement, and many were surprised by his sudden decision.
As time went on, the saga for Cravens got more and more bizarre. Just a few weeks after his initial decision to leave the team, Cravens appeared to be ready to return.
