A longtime blindside starter in Chicago, Leno was cut by the Bears last offseason and ended up joining the Commanders. He had a solid year and signed a three-year extension in January, locking him in as the starter at left tackle for at least 2022 and possibly 2023 and 2024.
The Bears released Leno -- their longtime starting left tackle -- shortly after drafting Teven Jenkins in the second round this spring. Washington later picked Leno up and installed him as its starter on the blindside.
Leno, who appeared in six games for the Bears as a rookie last season, is still viewed as a developmental option along the team’s offensive line and is likely ticketed for a reserve role again in 2015. He offers the versatility to play either guard or tackle.
A seventh-round draft pick out of Boise State, Leno is set to audition for the top backup spot at left tackle during training camp. He'll have to beat out a surfeit of competitors for those duties, with Joe Long, Michael Ola and James Brown all expected to factor into the battle.
