Second year safety Bacarri Rambo will be making his return to the starting lineup against the Texans but this time at strong safety.  Rambo made three starts last season at free safety and he admittedly was not ready to start as a rookie.  But injuries and lack of depth forced him into the position.

Now he starts in place of Brandon Meriweather who is serving a two-game suspension for an illegal hit on the Baltimore Ravens Torrey Smith.  Rambo had an impressive preseason showing much more confidence and better tackling form than last season.

And the Redskins will need his performance in the preseason to translate into the regular season if they are to get the win on the road in Houston.
