Dan Quinn talks to reporters after practice

The Washington Commanders are back in Ashburn for Phase 3 of offseason activities(OTAs). which started yesterday. Today was the first day of media availability, and Dan Quinn spoke to reporters after Jayden Daniels and several other players. Offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury also got a chance to answer questions before today’s practice in the bubble.

Dan Quinn said “There is no flinch in Jayden Daniels” and he puts in a lot of work that people don’t see. The success he had in his rookie year hasn’t changed him, and he is still driven to improve every aspect of his game. Quinn was asked about teams now having tape on Jayden Daniels and Washington’s offense, and he said they haven’t seen all of the Commanders playbook, and there are new players in the mix this year. He was also asked about being the hunters last year and now being hunted. Quinn quickly cut the reporter off to say they are always the hunters.

OTAs are voluntary, but there were several players missing from today’s practice. Terry McLaurin has been in the headlines lately since missing a practice last week, and looking for a new deal as he enters the final year of his second contract with Washington. Two players the Commanders recently traded for(LT Laremy Tunsil, CB Marshon Lattimore) were also absent today, but Quinn said there are different reasons why players didn’t attend, and he has spoken with every player.

Quinn was also asked about right guard Sam Cosmi’s recovery from a torn ACL during the playoffs in January. The veteran offensive lineman has been hitting all the markers, and is doing excellent in the process. Quinn didn’t offer a timeline, but Cosmi is expected to start training camp, and probably the season on the physically unable to perform(PUP) list.
