Washington hits the field for the ninth day of training camp
The Washington Commanders are back in Ashburn for the ninth day of training camp practices. Head coach Dan Quinn was back answering questions before the start of practice. The Washington Commanders signed a new DT today, and Quinn said it would help with “load management” for players like Johnny Newton and Jonathan Allen. Newton won’t be practicing today as they continue his recovery plan from a second foot surgery.

WR vs DB one on ones:
Some notes from 1-on-1s WR/DBs
– Davion Davis had the best catch of the drill with a grab over Kelly near the end zone
– Forbes had an impressive PBU against Brown
– Zaccheaus had another over the shoulder end zone catch
— Zach Selby (@ZachSelbyWC) August 4, 2024
1-on-1 RZ drills with WRs and CBs. Typically the receivers get highlighted. However…
Mike Sainristill created tough passing angles on a couple of throws. Emmanuel Forbes turned his head around to knock down a lob to Dyami Brown in the end zone. .
