While there are plenty of players on either team to keep an eye on, here are 10 guys that I will specifically be monitoring.

The team said they would be shutting off access to Griffin “for a while”, according to the New York Post’s Bart Hubbuch.
After not seeing action in the 2015 preseason opener against the Cleveland Browns due to tightness in his hamstring, tight end Jordan Reed is hoping to be able to make his preseason debut Thursday against the Detroit Lions. That said, he knows that every time he steps on the field, he “has to prove” he’s the team’s best option. Because there is no quarterback in the NFL who is better at their craft than RG3.
Griffin may not have boldly stated he was better than top-notch quarterbacks Aaron Rodgers, Andrew Luck and Tom Brady, but he definitely made it clear he believes he is the best in the league at his position.
Griffin went 2-for-5 for 8 yards on four possessions for Washington (2-0). In this one though, we expect Matthew Stafford to be more active and play some more minutes.

Griffin was sacked three times on five pass attempts, fumbled twice and was hit on six of his eight drop-backs before being knocked out of the game. He was healthy in 2013 but lacked the same big-play ability displayed in his first campaign.
Below is a bit of an intro into this Lions Redskins game, and then I’ve got a pick against the spread for you as well. That quote right there, about seeing through the business side of the NFL to enjoy the game itself and appreciate the process of getting better, is a heck of a motivational speech for young players. Cousins and McCoy started in his place, per ESPN.

He was benched late in the season last year, meaning that Coach Jay Gruden didn’t even think he was the best quarterback on the Redskins.
