Linebackers

Vontae Diggs

Diggs hasn’t been making any headlines during training camp and there seems to be no news about him anywhere. Diggs is surely putting in the effort, but generating no news is not a good sign for him, especially since the Redskins are stacked at linebacker.

His Chances:  He will not make the roster and his chances of finding a place on the practice squad seem remote.

Jerod Fernandez

At the risk of sounding like an old and broken CD, you can take the same assessment of Diggs and apply it to Fernandez. When you’re an undrafted free agent and generate zero good news or positive headlines, it is not a good thing.

His Chances:  He will not make the roster either and his chances of finding a place on the practice squad seem remote as well.
