We might need some bigger bleachers. It’s standing room only out here at #Commanders Training Camp. I have NEVER seen this many fans out on a weekday. The Harris group woke up a sleeping giant of a fan base #HTTC pic.twitter.com/UNqfx24iYq

With Sam Howell it appears he looks for TE’s and Terry McLaurin. Reminds of KC where TE’s and Tyreek Hill did damage. #httc #NFLTrainingCamp #NFL

4 random Commanders thoughts after a day in Ashburn.
1) Byron Pringle makes the roster at WR.
2) Brian Robinson caught the ball really well out of the backfield today.
3) Sam Howell throws a beautiful deep ball.
4) The D-line looked ready for a game.

Mayor Bowser says she spoke to Josh Harris 2x since he took over the team, then bluntly says she thinks the Washington Commanders belong at RFK.

Sean Payton also took a shot at the #Jets. He says the only wining they’re going to have is in the offseason.
“We’re not doing any of that. The Jets did that this year. You watch. ‘Hard Knocks,’ all of it. I can see it coming.”

#Jets HC Robert Saleh took the high road when asked about Sean Payton’s comments:
“If you ain’t got no haters, you ain’t popping. So hate away. Obviously we’re doing something right if you’ve gotta talk about us when we don’t play you until Week 5.”

Sean Payton is very deliberate with everything he does.
But there are people in the building surprised and not happy with some of the comments.

Sean Payton is a Super Bowl champion, and a living offensive legend in our league, & I have nothing but respect for what he’s accomplished throughout his career. Which makes it hard for me to underhand why he feels the need to punch down on former Broncos head coach and current… pic.twitter.com/OdhhEudz1A

Dolphins CB Jalen Ramsey was carted back into the locker down room after a practice injury. Trainers were attending to his left knee.
He grabbed his left knee after defending Tyreek Hill on a pass play. Trainers evaluated him for a bit on the sideline then he hobbled on cart.

Update: #Dolphins CB Jalen Ramsey appears ready to miss multiple regular season months, until December.
He tweeted: “That end of the season push gon be legendary!”

Joe Burrow told reporters yesterday he was looking forward to extended preseason action for the first time:
2020: COVID, no games
2021: Returning from ACL, 3 snaps
2022: Appendix rupture, no action
2023: Calf strain, ???— Mike Garafolo (@MikeGarafolo) July 27, 2023

Zac Taylor calls it a calf issue for Joe Burrow.

I remember when Joe Mixon was week-to-week with a non-serious foot injury for an entire season before hitting IR.
Or when Tee Higgins was “active” and spent the entire game on the bench.
I’m not saying to panic about Joe Burrow. But I’m also saying not to trust Zac Taylor.
