What happened: Washington paired first-round pick Sonny Styles with free-agent addition Leo Chenal, while Frankie Luvu and Jordan Magee return for Daronte Jones’ new defense. The overhaul follows Bobby Wagner’s two-season run as the unit’s every-down leader.
Why it matters: Styles can rush, Chenal’s fit in the new scheme, Luvu’s pressure ability and Magee’s push for snaps create competition across the unit.
By the numbers: Styles received a four-year, fully guaranteed $37.2 million deal after Washington drafted him seventh overall. Chenal has 193 tackles, seven sacks, six passes defensed and three forced fumbles in 65 career games.
What to watch: Training camp will show whether Styles earns the green-dot role and how Jones divides snaps among Styles, Chenal, Luvu and Magee.
