Ron Rivera said there’s nothing different with Chase Young and he’ll be evaluated on Sunday. “We’re looking for that cut looseness and GO,” and they’ll look to see if he has that prior to the game, Rivera said.

Ron Rivera said with Chase Young, he’s had a “good couple of days” but we’re really at the same point as before: see how he feels tomorrow and Sunday.

Rivera really likes the Commander’ rookie class. Mentioned how big Christian Holmes and Percy Butler have been as gunners, but also has high hopes for Chris Paul. Said other players have gone out of their way to praise him

Ron Rivera said rookie OL Chris Paul is “someone who is going to make a mark. I say that because when you talk to some veteran defensive linemen, they talk about him being a guy that can lock you up. They told me unsolicited, ‘Wow, coach, we have to keep an eye on this kid.'”

Asked about glue guys in the locker room, Ron Rivera identifies Terry McLaurin and Jon Allen (duh) as well as Jeremy Reaves (“talk about a guy who gets the message and shares the message”). Went on to tab Logan Thomas as another (“he’s got that sage about him”)

As for Benjamin St-Juste for Sunday, it’s a “we’ll see” situation, Ron Rivera said. The CB has been practicing all week but is listed as questionable. Game-time decision.

Rivera said Trai Turner would start at right guard.

DBs coach Chris Harris says that he and his players hold a “Learn from others” session every Friday, where Harris will pick various clips — both good and bad — and show them to the guys. That helps his already cerebral group grow even savvier

Washington DBs coach Chris Harris on Benjamin St-Juste, who is listed as questionable for Sunday: “Benjamin is a true game-changer. He’s a difference-maker. … His length gives people a real problem.”

With Benjamin St-Juste, would say they’re in a definite wait-and-see how he feels. He had a good day Friday, but still very iffy. DB Coach Chris Harris called him a “true game changer.. a difference maker.” His size and short-area quickness is huge for them; helps on 50-50 balls
