The Washington football franchise is planning on retiring its on Monday, according to Ben Fischer of Sports Business Daily.
While the team plans to retire its name, the organization has still yet to choose its new moniker, according to Fischer.
The move comes just over a week after the team announced it was undergoing a "thorough review" of its name on July 3.
"This process allows the team to take into account not only the proud tradition and history of the franchise but also input from our alumni, the organization, sponsors, the National Football League and the local community it is proud to represent on and off the field," Washington owner Dan Snyder said July 3.
