Dan Quinn’s “Tell the Truth Monday”
The Washington Commanders ended their four-game winning streak with a loss to the Baltimore Ravens yesterday. They also lost DT Jonathan Allen, who tore his left pec, and is out for the season. Quinn said the team will work with Jer’Zhan Newton and Phidarian Mathis, and they will have other options going forward. Dorance Armstrong will undergo tests for an oblique/rib injury today, and Javontae Jean-Baptiste’s x-rays were negative for an ankle injury.

Reaction to the loss to the Ravens:
DQ with good answer on the locker room feeling after Ravens loss: ‘Jayden and his teammates were pissed, and it was about Baltimore and not about Baltimore at the same time.’ Quinn believes his team left some chances on the field.
