Jaylin Lane’s injury reduces Washington’s healthy receiving options to six.
Take Diggs out of the equation, and that leaves five. Other than McLaurin and, to a degree, rookie Antonio Williams, the remaining options aren’t necessarily refined receivers. Treylon Burks is more of a big-play threat, as we’ve seen. Same with Dyami Brown. Luke McCaffrey appears headed for a role primarily as a returner. Jefferson, meanwhile, looked sharp throughout the summer and has returned to the organization. I think he has a legitimate chance to emerge as an offensive threat in this game, not merely provide depth.
