Washington returns to training camp with the fans
The Washington Commanders held joint practices in Baltimore with the Ravens on Tuesday and Wednesday, but are now back home in Ashburn. Ron Rivera officially named Sam Howell as the starting QB before practice started, and he will continue running Eric Bieniemy’s offense. Washington is still dealing with several injured players as they prepare for their second preseason game on Monday night at Fed Ex Field where they will host the Ravens.
Injury updates:
On injuries: Danny Johnson was being evaluated this morning after injuring his shoulder on the Mark Andrews body slam in Tuesday’s practice. Day to day. Johnson has had a good camp.
