Washington has a light day at practice
The Washington Commanders are back in Ashburn for the eleventh day of training camp practices, and today’s practice again wasn’t open to the public. Washington had a light practice without pads after going for almost 3 hours yesterday in pads. Several players are still dinged up, but Emmanuel Forbes and Curtis Samuel both participated in team drills, but it was more of a walkthrough, than a full practice. Washington also worked out two punters, a long snapper, and a few more DBs.
Injury updates:
Curtis Samuel is here but not taking part in team stuff w first team offense. I’d be surprised if he does much today and doubt he’s playing Friday.

First team reps for Jacoby Brissett:
Jacoby Brissett just received his first, first-team reps of camp. Now he’s out there with the twos. But briefly worked with the first team o line and receivers. (Curtis Samuel was there, too.)

We’re into the 2nd team period. Brissett just threw a beautiful deep post route for a touchdown. Couple plays after the defense forces 2 turnovers. Great back and forth right now!@DCNewsNow #HTTC

I’m telling you right now, the screen game is going to be a factor this season in Bieniemy’s offense. pic.twitter.com/Qgf8vm4AIb

Backup offense vs starting defense:
The No.2 & No. 3 offense for the #Commanders going against mostly No. 1 Defense went about as u would expect.
1. Kendall Fuller had an easy breakup
2.BSJ easy INT off Fromm.
3.Percy Butler INT off JF on next play in 2B coverage.— Chris Russell AKA the ! (@Russellmania621) August 7, 2023

Notes
The Commanders have some questions as to who will fill the final WR spots on the roster, and whoever earns them will need to be versatilehttps://t.co/aOPy1y0PL3
