Antonio Gibson
Not even sure you can call this a warmup, but here’s AG doing something super light ahead of practice. Missed yesterday due to a hamstring problem pic.twitter.com/lLvqHxlHfZ

Side field crew
Chase Young, Logan Thomas and Antonio Gibson all working out on side field. Thomas has a leg sleeve but no brace/sleeve for Young. Maybe the Twitter docs can tell me what/any significance that has

Missing TEs
I don’t see John Bates and Antonio Gandy-Golden with the tight ends.

John Bates was partying with the OL
Actually on second look, Bates is out here now. That’s weird as he wasn’t with the tight end group before they broke off to work with other units. He’s been working with the offensive line

Montez Sweat
Montez Sweat going thru some individuals. Has looked very disruptive this summer pic.twitter.com/yUOETmKbRC
— JP Finlay (@JPFinlayNBCS) July 28, 2022
Montez Sweat is jawing loudly at the offense after beating the tight end Armani Rogers, who was supposed to block him. “Don’t put no tight end on me.”

Linebackers
3 LB look – Davis, Holcomb, Hudson pic.twitter.com/crZw0IHkaD

Multiple sightings
Nice play by Jeremy Reaves to break up a pass from Howell intended for Kelvin Harmon
— Zach Selby (@ZachSelbyWC) July 28, 2022
Teamwork
First interception of training camp. Wentz hits Dyami in the chest but Kendall Fuller popped it loose with Cole Holcomb getting the pick
— Zach Selby (@ZachSelbyWC) July 28, 2022
Wentz was just picked off. Kendall Fuller deflected the pass up the middle. Cole Holcomb caught it and ran it back for the TD.
Next play, Wentz’s pass was deflected by Jamin Davis.
— Nicki Jhabvala (@NickiJhabvala) July 28, 2022
The defense has been all over the offense so far. After Holcomb’s pick, Jamin Davis nearly had one himself and Christian Holmes had a PBU
— Zach Selby (@ZachSelbyWC) July 28, 2022
Secondary
Washington has largely chose to deploy three cornerback sets rather than three safeties. St-Juste continues to get the nod over Danny Johnson.
— Matthew Paras (@Matthew_Paras) July 28, 2022
Dax Milne
Dax Milne has pretty reliable so far. Had a few grabs yesterday and already had two today
— Zach Selby (@ZachSelbyWC) July 28, 2022
Kendall Fuller vs Dyami Brown again
Fuller provides solid coverage on Dyami Brown again and forces and INC. Chris Harris is noticeably amped about how the defense is playing
— Zach Selby (@ZachSelbyWC) July 28, 2022
Chris Harris hyped
Chris Harris, Washington’s DBs coach, is in peak camp mode. Most hyped individual here. He’s sprinted the length of the field at least five times already yelling things like, “We own this sh**!”
— Nicki Jhabvala (@NickiJhabvala) July 28, 2022
Shaka Toney vs Chris Paul
Chris Paul just got beat pretty easily by Shaka Toney, who had a clear path to Howell
— Zach Selby (@ZachSelbyWC) July 28, 2022
Kendall Fuller vs Curtis Samuel
Fuller has been one of the clear standouts today. He just blew up another play, this time to Curtis Samuel
— Zach Selby (@ZachSelbyWC) July 28, 2022
Saahdiq Charles
Trai Turner is not practicing and so Saahdiq Charles has been getting the right guard reps.
Elsewhere, Montez Sweat is dominating. “Don’t send no tight end over,” he yells after taking advantage of the mismatch.
— Matthew Paras (@Matthew_Paras) July 28, 2022
Curtis Samuel vs Benjamin St-Juste
Curtis Samuel just put a really sick move on Benjamin St-Juste before sprinting upfield
— Zach Selby (@ZachSelbyWC) July 28, 2022
Defense continues to dominate offense in practice
The defense has absolutely crushed the offense so far. Early into camp, but this is even more severe than yesterday. I’m not tracking completion numbers, but it’d be ugly if I was.
— Matthew Paras (@Matthew_Paras) July 28, 2022
Christian Holmes hype!
Christian Holmes has put together a really good day. Just had another PBU
— Zach Selby (@ZachSelbyWC) July 28, 2022
Carson Wentz —-> Jahan Dotson
Carson Wentz just hit Jahan Dotson on a deep pass down the left sideline. Perfectly in stride, nice catch. Best play of the day from 11
— Ethan Cadeaux (@Ethan_Cadeaux) July 28, 2022
Wentz just laid one out to Jahan Dotson off his back foot. Dotson made catch over his shoulder near the sideline
— Zach Selby (@ZachSelbyWC) July 28, 2022
Top 3 WRs
To see McLaurin, Dotson and Samuel lined up on one side of the field together is going to be a problem for defenses. #httc #NFL @SportsJourney

Cole Montez INT
Day 2 appropriately ends with an interception. Fourth-stringer Cole Kelley was picked off twice in the last session. Wentz’s group, though, probably had their best stretch of the day. Jahan Dotson with a nice catch down the sideline. But for the most part, a rough day
