Meanwhile ... Washington rookies will be arriving in town today. Physicals on Thursday. Rookie camp Friday-Saturday.

Washington could have both stay on for rookie minicamp tryouts, but NFL teams are allotted only 5 extra spots for tryouts so ... TBD.

Lokombo (5-11, 190) is more of a slot corner/safety. Bandy (6-5, 285) played tackle but may be better suited inside. https://t.co/umUxoARDe8
