e safest choice in t

[panxing18]

The Washington Redskins have shored up their offensive line by re-signing swing tackle Ty Nsekhe and interior lineman Tony Bergstrom and exercising the fifth-year option on starting right guard Brandon Scherff's contract.

The Redskins announced the deals Monday as they began their offseason program. The signings ensure depth along the line for at least next season.

A two-time Pro Bowl selection , Scherff is now signed through 2019. Washington's first-round pick in 2015 has started 46 regular-season games and one playoff game.

Nsekhe, who was a restricted free agent, started five games at left tackle in place of injured Pro Bowl lineman Trent Williams last season. The 32-year-old has appeared in 42 games and started 11.

Bergstrom joined the Redskins last season , starting three games and appearing in nine after starting with Baltimore.

By all accounts, Quenton Nelson has not practiced like a rookie. The No. 6 overall pick, arguably the safest choice in the draft , has been everything the Colts expected.

“He’s as well-prepared for . . . transition to this level of any guy I’ve ever been associated with as a rookie,” Colts offensive line coach Dave Deguglielmo said, via Mike Wells of ESPN. “I don’t even look at him like a rookie , because physically he doesn’t play like a rookie; he doesn’t move like a rookie. He doesn’t work like a rookie; he doesn’t talk like a rookie. He’s a little bit na茂ve about some things.

“He’s na茂ve because some of the pressure and length of the season and stuff like that, but we’ll handle that. But right now he’s operating like he’s done this for years.”

After years of struggling to fix their offensive line, the Colts appear to have found at least one solution in Nelson. He could have the type of rookie season another former Notre Dame offensive lineman had in 2014 when Zack Martin made the Pro Bowl and earned All-Pro honors in his first year with the Cowboys.
