The Washington Redskins face some familiar foes during this year's preseason slate, as they'll play against the Cleveland Browns, Detroit Lions, Baltimore Ravens and Jacksonville Jaguars. *
The Redskins open up their preseason schedule this year with an away matchup against the Cleveland Browns at FirstEnergy Stadium. The two teams squared off in a Week 2 preseason matchup last season at FedExField.
The Browns are led by second-year head coach Mike Pettine, who amassed a 7-9 record last season. They made several offseason moves early on during free agency this year, including signing former Pro Bowl wide receiver Dwayne Bowe to a deal.
The Redskins have won six of their last seven preseason games against the Browns.
Next is the first home preseason game of the season for the Redskins, a matchup with the Detroit Lions at FedExField. Behind head coach Jim Caldwell in his first season with the organization, the Lions earned one of the NFC's two wild-card berths following the 2014 regular season.
The third game of the preseason will be at the Baltimore Ravens. The Ravens – who appeared in the playoffs last year – are led by head coach John Harbaugh, in his eighth season with the team, and quarterback Joe Flacco. This will mark the eighth time in 11 years that the cross-conference foes have met in the preseason.
The preseason finale will be a home game on Thursday, Sept. 3, at FedExField against the Jacksonville Jaguars. The two franchises faced off last year during regular-season action, as the Redskins downed the Jaguars by a final score of 41-10. Jacksonville is led by third-year head coach Gus Bradley and 2014 first-round pick Blake Bortles.
