Washington Commanders
The Washington Commanders are back on the fields in Ashburn for the seventeenth day of training camp practices. They held a light “jog thru” in the new practice bubble yesterday, but were back in pads today. The team is preparing to host the Cincinnati Bengals on Monday Night Football for their second preseason game.
Several injured players returned to the practice field today including Jordan Magee, Tyler Owens, Bill, and Bobby Price who was still limited with a concussion. Some highlights from today’s practice included Ryan Kerrigan coaching up Javon Kinlaw, Jayden Daniels connecting with Ja’Corey Brooks and Zach Ertz,...

The Washington Commanders held a full practice today, and their coordinators got a chance to answer some questions before their preseason game against the Cincinnati Bengals on Monday Night Football. Kliff Kingsbury was up first before practice started. He started off by talking about the changes he’s seen from Jayden Daniels, and he said he’s focused and treating every practice like a game. Later on he talked about Daniels’ photographic memory, and ability to diagnose plays after being told one time.
Terry McLaurin is still holding in with an ankle injury, and Kingsbury said the offense is hard to evaluate...

The Commanders and Baltimore Ravens mutually canceled the joint practice they had scheduled for next week. Coach Dan Quinn indicated the short turnaround from Monday night’s preseason game against the Cincinnati Bengals to the Aug. 23 preseason finale against the Ravens made it too difficult to host the Ravens in an additional gamelike setting. Quinn and Ravens Coach John Harbaugh discussed their plans Wednesday night.
Rookie wideout Jaylin Lane’s role is expanding. Already the likely punt returner and a breakout player in...

Dan Quinn spoke to the media before the team headed inside their new practice bubble for a jog-thru. The Commanders had off yesterday, and have four more days to prepare for their preseason home debut against the Cincinnati Bengals on Monday Night Football. Quinn announced that the team’s scheduled joint practice next week with the Baltimore Ravens had been cancelled after they couldn’t get the timing right. He said this wouldn’t affect starters playing time, but it will be their only opportunity to get live reps against another team before the season opener against the New York Giants. Quinn also...

Dan Quinn announced one roster move during his pre-practice presser. Veteran cornerback Daryl Worley was signed after having a tryout yesterday. Qwuantrezz Knight, Trey Rucker and Jason Taylor also worked out, but weren’t signed. Worley(30) was a Carolina Panthers 3rd round pick in 2016, and has been with 9 teams in 9 seasons. He started 7 games for the Tennessee Titans last season. Worley enters a cornerback room that doesn’t have a lot of room for a later addition, but he will likely have a chance to impress coaches over the next ~12 days.

It’s fair to say that Commanders defensive tackle Johnny Newton had a somewhat underwhelming rookie season in 2024. The team surprisingly drafted him at the top of the second round despite having a strong group of defensive tackles already, but they felt he was a first round talent that they just couldn’t pass up on. Unfortunately he dealt with injuries throughout the offseason and hardly practiced until the regular season, which led to him playing catch up all year and struggling to make the...

The Washington Commanders announced their jersey schedule for their 17 games this season. They added a “Super Bowl era” alternate this year to the three-jersey lineup that was introduced in 2022 when the name was changed to the Commanders.
Washington opens up the 2025-26 season by hosting the New York Giants with their “Monument White” jerseys. They will wear the 2022 white jerseys the most this season, but the other 7 games will be on the road. The “Legacy Burgundy” jerseys will get 5 appearances this season, two on the road, and three at home. The “Super Bowl Era” jerseys...

Kain Medrano was one of the Commanders more intriguing draft picks this year. He’s ultra athletic with fantastic upside as a coverage defender, which is highly valued in the modern NFL. However he struggled with tackling in college, which is why he fell to the sixth round despite his athleticism and coverage ability. So I was eager heading into the Commanders preseason opener against the Patriots to see how Medrano would get on, particularly in the run game, which is the weaker part of...

The Washington Commanders and Terry McLaurin are in the fourth quarter of their contract negotiation period before the start of the season. McLaurin showed face at the Commanders’ team scrimmage on Tuesday, and reporters saw him having a brief conversation with General Manager Adam Peters.
We don’t know exactly what was said, but speculation and optimism remain that the two sides will be able to reach an understanding shortly. The All-Pro wideout is currently on the Physically Unable to Perform List, and being on the PUP list allows him to end his holdout while remaining off the practice field.
