After today’s preseason game, Redskins head coach Mike Shanahan made it sound like there’s a good chance running back Alfred Morris could be the starter heading into their season opener.
Mike Shanahan on Morris “Said this from day one, we’re gonna play the bestplayers. He may be the lonely soldier. He did play well.”
