The Washington Redskins will return home for their FedExField preseason debut on Friday, Aug. 19, when they welcome the New York Jets in preseason Week 2. Kickoff is scheduled for 7:30 p.m.

The Redskins opened the 2016 preseason in Atlanta last week in a performance that served as another evaluation point for Head Coach Jay Gruden.

"I have to watch the tape first and see how they were fundamentally and assignment-wise, see how they did, and then athletically see if they made plays," Gruden said after the game. "On the sideline, it's hard to tell. I saw a couple guys show up and make some big plays but there were some plays out there to be had and we didn't make them so we have got to fix it."

The Redskins' first-team units saw limited action in the debut but provided positive returns. The first-team defense forced consecutive three-and-outs to begin the contest and held Falcons QB Matt Ryan without a completion of four pass attempts. Conversely, Redskins QB Trent Williams completed all five attempts for 53 yards.

THE OPPONENTThe New York Jets enter 2016 after finishing second in the AFC East in 2015 with a 10-6 record. This season will be the team's second under Head Coach Todd Bowles.

Now in his 12th NFL season, Ryan Fitzpatrick returns for his second season as the Jets' starting quarterback. He completed 335-of-562 pass attempts (59.6 percent) for 3,905 yards, 31 touchdowns and 15 interceptions in 2016.

The Jets will be without their leading rusher from a year ago, running back Chris Ivory, who signed with the Jacksonville Jaguars this offseason. Running back Matt Forte, formerly with the Chicago Bears (2008-15), joined the Jets after leading his team with 218 carries for 898 yards and four touchdowns last season. Bilal Powell finished last season with the Jets recording 70 carries for 313 yards and a touchdown.

Wide receiver Brandon Marshall got his start as a member of the Jets last season recording 109 receptions for 1,502 yards. He led the Jets with 14 receiving touchdowns, a career best. Wide receiver Eric Decker added 80 receptions for 1,207 yards and 12 touchdowns.

Linebacker David Harris enters his 10th NFL season after leading the Jets in total tackles with 108 (67 solo) and sacks (4.5) last year. Cornerback Marcus Williams recorded a team-high six interceptions.

Kicker Nick Folk is entering his 10th season in the league after signing with the Jets in 2010. Folk played in only eight games last season, missing the last eight with a quad injury. He would finish the season 13-of-18 (81.3 percent) on field goal attempts.

In his first year with the Jets, Jeremy Ross could add to the Jets' return game. Ross played for Oakland in 2015, averaging 22.1 yards per return on 12 kick returns and 7.5 yards per return on 14 punt returns.
