Redskins open three-way competition at running back Published: Jul 26, 2018 at 11:39 AM Digital Content Editor It's a three-for-all at running back in D.C. The enter camp with a slew of questions on an Larry Nance Jr. Jersey offense full of new faces, but none is more pre sing or presently unanswerable than who will start at tailback alongside dual-threat virtuoso ?
