(Photo by Rich Schultz/Getty Images) The 2019 NFL schedule has been released. Here’s a look at the Redskins’ full schedule, list of opponents, and matchups for the 2019 season. The NFL is in the process of releasing their 2019 schedule on Wednesday. The last somewhat big pre-draft event will give fans a sneak peek at some of the top matchups their teams will face in 2019. The Redskins are entering a critical season for Jay Gruden and the coaching staff, yet they enter with questions at quarterback. They could draft a passer in Round 1 of the 2019 NFL Draft, trade for Josh Rosen, or roll with Case Keenum and Colt McCoy as their starters. Either way, the structure of their semi-difficult schedule could prove to be critical, as they have a lot of solid teams on their schedule. Of course, the opponents for each team next season were already known. It’s just a matter of how favorable the schedule looks and, of course, when the bye week ends up being. Here are the Redskins’ opponents for 2019. Home: New York Giants, Philadelphia Eagles, Dallas Cowboys, New England Patriots, New York Jets, Chicago Bears, Detroit Lions, San Francisco 49ers Away: New York Giants, Philadelphia Eagles, Dallas Cowboys, Buffalo Bills, Green Bay Packers, Minnesota Vikings, Carolina Panthers As always, there were some early leaks. Here’s a look at what the schedule looks like so far for the Redskins. We will update this throughout the day. Last updated at 7:15 p.m. Week 1: @ Philadelphia Eagles Week 2: vs. Dallas Cowboys Week 3: vs. Chicago Bears (MNF) Week 4: @ New York Giants Week 5: vs. New England Patriots Week 6: @ Miami Dolphins Week 7: vs. San Francisco 49ers Week 8: @ Minnesota Vikings (TNF) Week 9: @ Buffalo Bills Week 10: BYE Week 11: @ New York Jets Week 12: vs. Detroit Lions Week 13: @ Carolina Panthers Week 14: @ Green Bay Packers Week 15: vs. Philadelphia Eagles Week 16: vs. New York Giants Week 17: @ Dallas Cowboys Notably, the Week 10 bye is a win for the Redskins. Last year, they had their bye in Week 4, the earliest of any team in the NFL. They paid for it with many injuries down the stretch. With an off week in Week 10, they will have time to get healthy later in the season. That will definitely benefit them if they are in contention for a playoff spot. Here are some notes about the big games on the schedule. The Redskins face the Eagles in Week 1 this season after not seeing them until Week 13 in 2018. The Eagles have won four straight against the Redskins, and quarterback Carson Wentz is expected to be healthy after enduring ACL and back injuries the last two seasons. He sports a 3-0 record against the ‘Skins in his last three starts against them. Washington will get a difficult matchup against the Patriots in Week 5. The Patriots have made it to the Super Bowl in each of the past three seasons. The teams have met just four times since Bill Belichick became the coach of the Patriots, and the ‘Skins’ last win against them came in 2003 with Patrick Ramsey at quarterback. The Week 3 clash with the Bears will be on Monday Night Football. They also will be taking on the Minnesota Vikings on Thursday Night Football on October 24. Those are the two current prime-time games on the slate. Per NFL Update, the Redskins will play the New York Giants twice (as usual): On the road in Week 4, and at home in Week 16. The Redskins split their series with the Giants last year, but in 2019, they’ll hope to sweep, as they did in 2017. This also rules out a Week 4 bye, which is a relief, to say the least. The Redskins home opener comes in Week 2, and it also happens to be a fierce divisional matchup against the defending NFC East champions; the Dallas Cowboys. The Redskins have two division games right out of the gate, so it’ll be important for them to start fast. One of the best stretches the Redskins have appears to be from Week 6 to Week 11. They take on the three weaker teams from the AFC East while getting the 49ers and Vikings. They should have a chance to win at least three or four of those games, especially with their Week 10 bye in place before the game against the Jets (the hardest non-Patriots team in the AFC East). Finishing with three divisional games to close the year will give the Redskins a chance to make a run if they are in postseason contention. Conversely, it could capsize them if they play poorly. Hopefully, they will still be in the postseason race when the Eagles come to town in Week 15, as the ‘Skins will have a chance to gain ground if they can put together a streak. We’ll see if the Redskins end up being able to take advantage of this schedule, or if it quickly becomes an issue for them with a tough start to the season.<doc-sep>The NFL has officially released their 2019 schedule tonight at 8pm.

Week 1 - @ Cleveland Browns — Thursday, August 8th Week 2 - vs. Cincinatti Bengals — Thursday, August 15 Week 3 - @ Atlanta Falcons — Thursday, August 22 Week 4 - vs. Baltimore Ravens — Thursday, August 29 Full 2019 NFL Schedule<doc-sep>The 2019 season is officially underway and on Tuesday, the NFL released the official preseason schedules for all 32 teams. The schedule for the Washington Redskins is an interesting one, as it features a new fan-favorite NFL team, a franchise with a first-year head coach, a team just a couple of years removed from the Super Bowl and a team fresh off of a division championship. According to the Redskins' official website, Washington will play at the Cleveland Browns in Week 1 (Aug. 8-12), at home against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 2 (Aug. 15-19), at the Atlanta Falcons in Week 3 (Aug. 22-25) and finish off the preseason at home against the Baltimore Ravens in Week 4 (Aug. 29). On these dates, we will get our first look at the 2019 Redskins, which will look a lot different than last year's squad. Washington has a new quarterback in Case Keenum, who is the favorite to win the starting job over Colt McCoy, who broke his leg last season two weeks after Alex Smith went down with his leg injury. The Redskins also have a new star defender in Landon Collins, who they made the highest-paid safety in the NFL with a six-year, $84 million deal. Washington also lost several players who were key contributors for the team over the past few seasons in wide receiver Jamison Crowder and pass rusher Preston Smith. The Redskins will likely use the upcoming NFL Draft to try and replace some of the production these former Redskins brought. What the Redskins will do in the upcoming draft still remains a question however. A team with many needs to fill, how will they use their No. 15 overall pick? It's assumed by many they will draft a quarterback. While Washington traded for Keenum, that doesn't mean they are done adding to their quarterback room. The Redskins saw first-hand in 2018 that three quarterbacks isn't enough, and they will surely carry three capable guys they have faith in next season. That means that they will likely draft a quarterback somewhere in the draft or even trade for someone like Arizona Cardinals quarterback Josh Rosen. However, Jay Gruden and Co. have made it clear that they will not reach on a quarterback in the first round if they do not believe that he can come in and succeed if called upon. The Redskins could use that No. 15 pick to replace Smith with someone like Brian Burns out of Florida State, or replenish the secondary with someone like Greedy Williams out of LSU. Either way, the 2019 NFL Draft will be a fun one, and the Redskins know they have to execute to set themselves up for some level of success next season. The Redskins finished 7-9 for the second year in a row, and third place in the NFC East for the third year in a row. Things need to change for the Redskins, and the front office understands that.<doc-sep>But with the team preparing for the possibility that Smith will never return, it will go into the season with a new quarterback. Gruden said he will let McCoy and Keenum compete for the starting job, but that’s assuming the Redskins don’t pick a quarterback early in next week’s draft or trade for one with more experience, such as Josh Rosen, Arizona’s second-year passer. Either way, that player will have to build cohesion with the offense against some of the league’s best teams in the season’s first weeks.<doc-sep>
