Washington is parting ways with its starting right guard.

The club will release Chris Chester, ESPN’s Adam Caplan reported Wednesday.

The 32-year-old Chester has started 64 straight regular season games for Washington. Overall, he has started 111-of-137 contests since entering the NFL with Baltimore in 2006.

Chester was set to make $3.5 million in salary in 2015, per NFLPA data.

Second-year pro Spencer Long could be among the options to replace Chester at right guard. A Nebraska product, Long was a third-round pick of Washington in 2014, and he was listed as the top backup to Chester as a rookie.
