Coach Ron Rivera has known Luke since 2017, when the Carolina Panthers signed him as an undrafted free agent out of Notre Dame. Two years later, he competed at free safety and ended up playing in eight games, though mostly on special teams. Luke, the nephew of former Dallas Cowboys safety Darren Woodson, might also be an option at free safety if Washington doesn’t like what it sees from Troy Apke. Should Luke spend any significant time there, it will mark Washington’s latest attempt to shore up the position since Rivera arrived. Last month, the team offered the 28-year-old safety a spot on its practice squad, but Reid turned it down.
