• Football Team's Steven Montez: Doesn't play as rookie

  01/11/2021 •

  Montez finished his rookie season without appearing in a game. The undrafted rookie out of Colorado spent most of the year on Washington's practice squad, eventually bumping up to the active roster for Weeks 15-17 and the wild-card round of the playoffs. Montez never actually took a snap, and he'll likely need to compete for a reserve QB role in the offseason.

  Montez reverted to Washington's practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log. Montez was active for Washington's Week 16 loss to the Panthers, but he never reached the field.
