Redskins edge Titans 22-21

NEW YORK: The Washington Redskins finished strongly to edge the Tennessee Titans 22-21 in their pre-season opener in Nashville on Thursday.
Washington’s third string quarterback Pat White scored on a 9-yard touchdown run with 2:29 remaining to cut Tennessee’s lead to 21-20, then followed it up with a completion to tight end Emmanuel Ogbuehi for a two-point conversion.
As expected, Robert Griffin III remained on the sidelines for the Redskins. Griffin, the 2012 NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year, will likely miss all of the preseason as he recovers from surgery on his right knee.
White, the 2007 Big East Offensive Player of the Year, is attempting to make the Redskins’ 53-man roster after spending the majority of the past three seasons away from the NFL.
