Ryan Kerrigan wants fans to know this: “They got all of me. Football was my life. I didn’t have a lot of hobbies.” Would eat breakfast and ask himself “How will this breakfast help me with football?”

Ryan Kerrigan says of retirement, “I do feel a sense of relief that it’s July and I dont have to go hit anybody. I dont have Morgan Moses staring at me.” Kerrigan adds coaching could be in the future
— JP Finlay (@JPFinlayNBCS) July 30, 2022
Kerrigan has always been held up as a superb “technique” guy, and a player who took incredible care of his body. It’s hard to believe Young, Sweat, and the others wouldn’t be helped by his tutelage. Let’s make it happen.
— KyleSmith4GM (@Smith4Gm) July 30, 2022
In an organization that doesn’t get too many things like this right, signing Ryan Kerrigan to a 1-day contract so he can retire in Washington is a classy move.
Congrats on a fantastic career, @RyanKerrigan91! Enjoy your well-deserved retirement!

Montez Sweat came out of the facility post-practice to see Ryan Kerrigan. Can’t emphasize enough how much these guys love and respect Kerrigan pic.twitter.com/gRZXJ0met6

Additionally, the final pick six of Kerrigan’s career was against Wentz

Andrew Norwell and Charles Leno aren’t practicing. They’re in uniform, but they’re on the exercise bikes and not participating in individual drills.
Jeremy Reaves on the side field. Don’t see John Bates or Trai Turner either.

Vet rest day today: Jon Allen, Montez Sweat, Andrew Norwell and Charles Leno. Also Curtis Samuel with a reduced workload today.

Cole Turner having a strong day. Just brought in a solid gain out route in 2 min drill from Wentz.
— JP Finlay (@JPFinlayNBCS) July 30, 2022
Washington’s young TEs have shown out well the first three days of camp.
With Logan Thomas on PUP, rookies Cole Turner and Curtis Hodges have thrived. Big + with Thomas’ timetable unknown.

William Jackson III on why he’s wearing so much yellow: “I just think I look cute in it.”

William Jackson III is pretty darn confident, says communication is “a-thousand percent better” with everyone having been here for most part.
Says in the secondary have been simplified. Says he knows exactly what he’s doing now….#Commanders

WAS C Chase Roullier had extensive surgery last season on his ankle after injuring it in Week 8. Had plates put in the bone, ligaments reattached and had a tightrope procedure.
“There’s new hardware in my ankle that will never feel fully the same again, so I have to adjust.”

After today’s training camp practice, @TheTerry_25 and @CurtisSamuel4__ spent 45 minutes signing autographs and taking pictures with @Commanders fans.
I asked them both, “Why?” “Why is this important to you?”

#Seahawks S Jamal Adams, who broke a finger during a recent practice when it got stuck in a helmet, is expected to be back practicing with a club and a special cast for games, sources say. If he has surgery, which is likely, the plan is for it to be in the offseason.

#49ers DT Maurice Hurst tore his biceps in Friday’s practice, coach Kyle Shanahan told reporters, likely ending his 2022 season.

Zeke’s $18,220,000 cap hit is absurd as are these comments
he’s averaging -0.01 rushing yards per att over expectation the last 2 yrs
getting only what’s blocked & nothing more & far less efficient than Pollard
the brain trust mtgs btwn Jerry & McCarthy have to be incredible https://t.co/cJ7XHUCCxU

At a time when many wondered whether there will be more Tony Pollard and less Ezekiel Elliott in the Cowboys running game for 2022, Jerry Jones says otherwise. https://t.co/dlQ6qq7mtV
