Washington to use running backs by committee

There is plenty to be unsure about in Washington, so just add 'running back depth chart' to the list. 

After cutting their initial starting running back Derrius Guice earlier this summer, the team is now taking a 'running back by committee' approach.

Asked about JD McKissic being the No. 1 RB, Ron Rivera quickly points out that was an unofficial depth chart.

"The running back group is going to be by committee. ... JD we just happened to be put on the chart first."

If it was any other Washington head coach, I would have called bullshit, but I truly believe Ron Rivera here. Without a preseason, and with glaring questions at the position after the unexpected release of your starter, this is the best approach for the team. Maybe one of the guys will end up standing out and taking over the 'starting spot,' but that will take time.
