For the Redskins, a number of key decisions rest on the horizon.

Throughout the entirety of the offseason, the Washington Redskins have searched for answers at some of their most congested positions. In some areas, they’ve worked their way toward finding clarity. In others, they will be forced to find separation where there might not be any.

Cut day is almost upon us. Leaving Week 3 of preseason with a 1-2 record, the Redskins will face off against the Ravens in their preseason finale, giving most, if not all of the reps to reserves. After that game, the cuts will begin, and at the end, 53 players will be left for the 2018 campaign.

With most of the starting positions locked up, the Redskins aren’t going to make or break their season with any decisions on the roster fringe. That said, there are many talented players with potential that rest inside the bubble. The Redskins would do well to weigh their options, and decide what they want. Is a youth movement edging forth? Or will veteran leadership have its day?

With just one week of preseason left, we can put together a safe bet at what the Redskins’ roster might look like come Week 1 of the regular season. As always, there will be surprises. There will be close battles, and there will be talented players walking away. What might the Redskins’ 53-man roster look like when it’s all said and done? Take a look.
