Washington hits the field for the first day of training camp
The Washington Commanders are back in Ashburn for the first day of training camp practices. General manager Adam Peters and head coach Dan Quinn spoke to the media yesterday, and Quinn was back answering questions before the start of practice. The big news of the day was second-round rookie DT Jer’Zhan “Johnny” Newton being cleared to practice five days after being placed on the Non-Football Injury list following surgeries to both of his feet.
QB Jayden Daniels, the No. 2 overall pick in this year’s draft will be getting a lot of attention during training camp. Quinn and Peters said they would let the process of him earning the starting job happen naturally, with veteran Marcus Mariota working, and competing, with him during camp.

Guardian caps:
Also here’s a first look at the guardian caps players are strongly encouraged (required) to wear and have the option to wear in-game … in years past they were grey shells, this year they’re designed to mimic the look of a regular helmet pic.twitter.com/z0dnQvVcOS

Don’t know if I missed something on the back field, but Jayden Daniels worked at least one set of reps after Marcus Mariota in team drills.
Appeared to work with No. 2 OL like Mason Brooks and Braeden Daniels as well. #Commanders

Marcus Mariota —-> Luke McCaffrey:
Nice move by Like McCaffrey on a pass from Mariota. Made a defender miss before moving down the sideline to the end zone #RaiseHail

Touchdown for the offense. Kazmeir Allen makes a diving grab from Daniels. One play later, Bates powers forward for another TD #RaiseHail
— Zach Selby (@ZachSelbyWC) July 24, 2024
Another TD from Daniels to Kaz Allen. Daniels is having an exceptional start to camp. Just finished this team drill 4/4 with one handoff. Other than one PBU, he’s been pretty flawless #RaiseHail
