All aTwitter: 7 August 2024 – Commanders sign ex-Steelers C/G after waiving TE Armani Rogers and OT Akingbulu (injury designation)

A reminder that this does not spell the end for Akingbulu in Washington. If he is not claimed by another team, after clearing waivers, he will revert to the Commanders IR and remain part of the roster (but not counted towards the 91-man limit). https://t.co/mwTE6SdvNZ

MELBA TURNS 100!!

Every year, Silver Spring native Melba Jacobson spends her birthday with the Commanders.

I asked Melba on the keys to a happy life, she told me,
“Don’t worry about anything, just have a good time and that’s what I’ve done.”

Amen, Melba. Amen! pic.twitter.com/DJlkKgMT7E

Commanders are trying out two more punters post-practice today. Same deal: Tress Way is fine and they’re not moving on from him. Just evaluating for emergency options.

Joe Whitt says he’s going to be simple in the defenses he calls for now bc “were just trying to see who can cover, who can tackle, who can rush”

— JP Finlay (@JPFinlayNBCS) August 6, 2024

Commanders DC Joe Whitt on rookie CB Mike Sainristil: “He has a command of the ‘star’ position. … He does not walk around like he’s a rookie.”

Terry McLaurin NEVER stops working.

This period of practice today was supposed to be a break for the skill position players.

That didn’t stop Terry from working on his hands. Low ball to high ball. pic.twitter.com/2EfEGBdpxS

Jayden Daniels will be the starting quarterback for the preseason opener against the Jets.

WR Jamison Crowder was asked what he wants to see from Jayden on Saturday.

Giving back to the community!

It’s always great catching up with Joe Gibbs.

Like everyone else, he is fired up for this new era of Washington football.

He said, “I’m excited about where we are. The NFL…it’s about winning. I feel like we’re headed back to a point where we’re going to win.” pic.twitter.com/slm0ZRKuOA

Practice for Commanders over..both PKs made 4/5 to end it. Didn’t think Jayden was overly sharp but not bad. Trent Scott clearly held a few times at RT.

More later @team980 at 1.

Nabers definitely made contact first, and then things went bananas.
