The Washington Commanders are back on the practice fields at team headquarters in Ashburn, VA today. They are preparing for the home, season opener against NFC East rivals, the New York Giants. Head coach Dan Quinn spoke to the media before practice started and talked about establishing the team’s identity, and said it takes more than one year. Jayden Daniels is a big part of the Commanders’ identity, and Quinn said his second-year QB has a “rare focus about him” and the best of the best have that.
Terry McLaurin signed his contract extension, but missed training camp while also landing on the PUP list(ankle) during his hold-in. Brandon Coleman missed several weeks of camp after suffering a lower leg injury early last month. He returned for the final preseason game, and Quinn said both players will be available to practice normally as they prepare for Week 1. McLaurin returns to the offense to lead a WR group that now includes veteran Deebo Samuel and rookie Jaylin Lane. Coleman is switching to left guard after Washington traded for new starting LT Laremy Tunsil.
