4. LB Martrell Spaight

I am not convinced that Martrell Spaight is completely healthy for the Redskins. He missed last week with a concussion and has been on the injury report all week with the same malady. He also missed most of last season with a concussion, so the team needs to tread cautiously with him. As a result, having him sit another week may be beneficial for his health.

The Redskins also have gotten pretty good play out of their linebackers to start the season. Mason Foster has been terrific while Will Compton and Su’a Cravens have also played very well. The team can afford to be without Spaight for an extra week, and having him down the stretch could prove to be more important.

Spaight is going to be a primary backup for the Redskins this season, but he should rest until he is fully healthy. There is no point in risking his long term health to have him for a game that could be meaningless in the long run.
