Here’s a look at who played how much in Week 4 against the Giants (snap counts via the NFL). Scroll to the bottom of the page for season to date snap counts for each player.
Offense 55 snaps
QB/O-line: Kirk Cousins 55, Chris Chester 55, Kory Lichtensteiger 55, Tyler Polumbus 55, Josh LeRibeus 51, Trent Williams 45, Tom Compton 12, Spencer Long 4
With Lauvao out, LeRibeus got his first NFL start and a career high in snaps played. Long got his feet wet with his first NFL snaps in the late going.
Wide receivers: Pierre Garçon 45, DeSean Jackson 44, Andre Roberts 37, Aldrick Robinson 6, Ryan Grant 5
This looks like it will be the normal distribution of snaps when everyone is healthy.
Tight ends: Logan Paulsen 43, Niles Paul 21
Paulsen was the only healthy tight end on the roster after Paul went out with a concussion just before halftime.
Running backs: Alfred Morris 30, Roy Helu Jr. 25, Darrel Young 17
For the second straight week Morris was more involved in the passing game with a 26-yard reception.
Defense 81 snaps
Defensive line: Jason Hatcher 44, Jarvis Jenkins 29; Chris Baker 54, Frank Kearse 31, Clifton Geathers 25
The Redskins frequently lined up with just Hatcher and Baker on the line with Brian Orakpo and Ryan Kerrigan essentially aligned as standup defensive ends.
Linebacker: Keenan Robinson 79, Perry Riley 75, Ryan Kerrigan 73, Brian Orakpo 72, Trent Murphy 24, Will Compton 10, Gabe Miller 3
There was some garbage time bench emptying here with Compton and Miller getting some late snaps.
Defensive back: Brandon Meriweather 75, David Amerson 74, Ryan Clark 73, Bashaud Breeland 59, E. J. Biggers 52, Tracy Porter 26, Trenton Robinson 7, Akeem Davis 3, Chase Minnifield 3
With the rookie Breeland struggling in his first NFL start, Porter, active for the first time, took a lot of the second half snaps in place of him. There were some garbage time snaps late with Davis and Minnifield getting their first NFL snaps on defense.
