Washington hits the field for the third day of training camp
The Washington Commanders are back in Ashburn for the third day of training camp practices. Head coach Dan Quinn spoke to the media again before the start of practice. He said the team hadn’t starting QB movement drills, but that changed today as Jayden Daniels and the other QBs worked on scrambling. Daniels had his first interception of training camp when CB Michael Davis jumped an in-breaking route. Marcus Mariota reportedly struggled today, along with some drops from Brian Robinson and Jahan Dotson.

The Commanders aren’t ready to announce their obvious QB1 selection. That’s fine with the chill yet competitive Jayden Daniels.
