The Washington Commanders are back in Ashburn for the twenty first, and final, day of training camp practices. The Washington Commanders are preparing to host the Baltimore Ravens on Saturday at 1 p.m. ET. They hosted the Cincinnati Bengals on Monday Night Football, and had to cancel their planned joint practice with the Ravens due to time constraints on a short week.
Head coach Dan Quinn spoke to the media before practice and said there will be a full NFL referee crew at practice today as the work on different situations. Brandon Coleman is back on the field in pads,...

Dan Quinn spoke to reporters before the last training camp practice open to the media. Camp is over, and the team is preparing for the preseason finale against the Baltimore Ravens Saturday afternoon, roster cutdowns on Tuesday, and Week 1 against the New York Giants. The team will have a full refereeing crew at today’s practice and they will be doing a lot of situational work.
Jayden Daniels made sure he got Bill Merritt’s first NFL TD on Monday night, and he said on the broadcast that Terry McLaurin and Zach Ertz made sure he got his first TD ball...

Commanders’ rookie right tackle Josh Conerly Jr.’s performance over the first two weeks of preseason has quickly changed the conversation about him. Heading into joint practices with the New England Patriots, the narrative surrounding Conerly Jr. centered on how his slow development at the time at right tackle was primarily due to his position change from left tackle. This significant shift often requires time for adjustment. Since then, his performance has quickly ascended Conerly Jr. into another conversation, which involves him being the week one starter for Washington. Conerly Jr. starting week one alleviates any uncertainty for Washington about their...

This award was started as a tongue-in-cheek tribute to players that fans push to the moon before they play a snap, or after one great performance in the preseason. But it also puts the focus on some of the unheralded players who fans hype up and have a fighter’s chance at making Washington’s roster. Colt Brennan was a great college player that lit up the preseason, but injuries and other issues saw him flame out in the NFL early. RIP Colt and thanks for the inspiration.

The Washington Commanders released OL Julian Good-Jones yesterday after he was injured against the Bengals on Monday Night Football. He will revert to the team’s injured reserve if he clears waivers. Good-Jones has been used at guard, but played center vs the Bengals and had a bad snap to Josh Johnson, which has been happening throughout training camp.
That injury opened up a spot on Washington’s 91-man roster, and they’ve filled it by signing a veteran center to help with their depth which is the shallowest on the team. Nick Harris was a 5th-round pick by the Cleveland Browns in...

Last year, the team had two clearly defined roles, a workhorse back that took the bulk of the carries on first and second down, and a third down back that caught passes and was used in pass protection on third downs and other obvious passing situations. Brian Robinson was the top back for the workhorse back role while Austin Ekeler was the top third down back. Jeremy McNichols was the primary back up for both roles initially, but Chris Rodriguez Jr....

The Commanders have had surprising play from some players this off-season, both good and bad. We all know that, come 26 August, finalizing the roster is a numbers game. Around 1,200 players league-wide will get their walking papers next week.
Players ‘on the bubble’ have to find a way to shine in camp and in preseason games, despite the fact that whatever they...

We’ve got one preseason game left before the Washington Commanders shift their focus completely to the regular season opener against the New York Giants. They went 12-5 last year in the first season of the Adam Peters/Dan Quinn/Jayden Daniels era. The Commanders won two games in the playoffs against the Buccaneers and Lions before falling to the eventual Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles.
They’re back this year and looking to get past the NFC Championship Game, and onto a Super Bowl victory. The team made a pair of trades on offense(Laremy Tunsil, Deebo Samuel), but they’re currently in the middle...

The Washington Commanders are back in Ashburn for the twentieth day of training camp practices. They played the Cincinnati Bengals on Monday Night Football for their second preseason game, and are now preparing for another home game against the Baltimore Ravens on Saturday afternoon.
Head coach Dan Quinn spoke to the media before practice and said Brian Robinson and Terry McLaurin aren’t practicing today. Robinson is going to be either traded or released, and McLaurin is returning from the PUP list(ankle) while trying to get a new contract extension from the Commanders.
Marcus Mariota, Brandon Coleman, and Trey Amos all...

Dan Quinn spoke to the media before today’s afternoon practice. He talked about what he liked(run game, offensive line, defensive energy) and what he didn’t like(turnovers, tackles, breaking tackles) from Monday night’s preseason game against the Cincinnati Bengals. Brian Robinson didn’t play in that game, and he won’t be at practice today. The Washington Commanders are looking to trade him as they move to other running backs old(Ekeler, Rodriguez, McNichols) and new(Bill). Quinn is hoping for a resolution soon, and that will likely mean releasing their former starting RB if they can’t find a trade partner.
Terry McLaurin also wasn’t...
