Two national television appearances highlight the Redskins' five-game preseason schedule, portions of which were released today by the league.
The schedule:
Monday, Aug. 3: vs. Indianapolis (Canton, Ohio), 8 p.m., NBC
Aug. 7-10: vs. Buffalo, time TBA, Ch. 9
Aug. 14-17: at New York Jets
Aug. 21-24: at Carolina
Thursday, Aug. 28: vs. Jacksonville, 7 p.m., NBC
The dates for the middle three games will be finalized later this spring. The Redskins generally play those games on Friday or Saturday nights.
The game that really sticks out is the Jacksonville contest and the return of former defensive boss/jilted head coach candidate Gregg Williams.
The Redskins don't play Baltimore in the preseason in part because they have a regular season date in Baltimore.
Washington's regular season opener is Thursday, Sept. 4 at the New York Giants.
