With Brandon Scherff and Shaun Lauvao out for the season, Trent Williams still not practicing and Morgan Moses banged up, the Redskins offensive line was depleted entering Week 10. To counteract the injuries and help add some depth, the team announced the signing of three offensive lineman on Monday: Luke Bowanko, Austin Howard and Jonathan Cooper.

As the three begin their time in the Burgundy and Gold, here's what we've learned about each.

G Luke Bowanko

Bowanko is no stranger to his new location. Growing up in Clifton, Va., and playing at the University of Virginia, the Redskins facility in Ashburn, Va., is just a short drive from where he spent the early years of his life, growing up as a Redskins fan.

"Yeah, big Skins fan," Bowanko said on Wednesday. "Obviously the Sean Taylor years were great years. Watching Casey Raubach run around back in the day, he's an inspiration to me."

Besides seeing a familiar logo on his new jersey, he's also reuniting with some familiar faces. Morgan Moses was his teammate at UVA, and although they only played a few games together, they still have a close bond, even joking around in the locker room.

In the midst of speaking with the media, MOses creeped up behind him to inquire about what he was saying. "Nothing man, just telling them about how fricken handsome you are, man," Bowanko said with a smile.

In addition to Moses, Bowanko has also shared the field with one of the other linemen signed on Monday. In 2017, he lined up with Austin Howard as a member of the Baltimore Ravens. Sitting on a couch just a few days ago, getting into the mix can be a hectic time for Bowanko. Having Moses and Howard to work with helps make the situation a little less stressful.

"It's always beneficial to come in here and know somebody and not just walking in cold," Bowanko said. "Offensive line is a very tight-knit, camaraderie type deal. Takes time to gel with people, the fact that I played with Austin a little bit last year and Morgan in the past obviously helps."

Before spending last season with Howard and the Ravens, appearing in all 16 games, the 27-year old's career had some ups and downs. A sixth-round pick in the 2014 NFL Draft, Bowanko started 14 games for the Jacksonville Jaguars in his rookie season, showing promise. However, injuries would derail his next two campaigns, and in 2017 he was traded to Baltimore.

Following his time with the Ravens and a short training camp stint with the New England Patriots, Bowanko finds himself with an opportunity for redemption. A chance to play a meaningful role for a team he grew up idolizing.
