Washington hits the field for the fourth day of training camp
The Washington Commanders are back in Ashburn for the fourth day of training camp practices. General manager Adam Peters and head coach Dan Quinn spoke to the media earlier in the week, and Quinn was back answering questions before the start of practice. Today is the first day that fans will be at training camp, and they were lined up early(4:30am) to get in, and watch Jayden Daniels first camp.

Bags drill:
Dan Quinn made players restart the bags drill. Guess they weren’t hyped enough. Fans didn’t seem to know what to make of it. Pretty silent.

Really nice grab from Daniels to Sinnott. The ball was a little behind him, but Sinnott still managed to haul it in #RaiseHail
— Zach Selby (@ZachSelbyWC) July 28, 2024
One guy who has been relatively quiet w a few DROPS throughout the first 4 days
Ben Sinnott

Armani Rogers:
Really nice catch by Armani Rogers. The team had some really high hopes for him before his injury. We’ll see if he can recapture some of that interest
— Zach Selby (@ZachSelbyWC) July 28, 2024
Jayden Daniels scramble:
Can’t wait to see Jayden Daniels show the wheels in regular season ️

Daniels escapes down the left sideline and gets a roar from the fan base as he sprints for a big gain #RaiseHail

Rough start:
Rough start to the 11 v 11 for Jayden Daniels
He’s been high on a few balls
Let’s see how he bounces back
— Lynnell Willingham (@Nell_BTP) July 28, 2024
Jayden Daniels takes first QB reps in 7-on-7. First two attempts were off target. Apparent miscommunication with routes. Daniels completes next three passes, all underneath.
Mariota next. Sideline throw completed thanks to an excellent body control adjustment catch by Tinsley.

Austin Ekeler:
Austin Ekeler with a BIG run to the right side. Great cut up the C gap, and hit the open field. His cuts are so sharp. #RaiseHail

UDFA safety Tyler Owens returned to practice today and snagged an interception of a deflected pass. Another roster sleeper.

Jamin Davis:

Offensive line rotation:
Lot of movement on the OLine. Coleman playing at both right and left. Dieter getting reps at LG. Trent Scott getting reps at LT #RaiseHail
— Zach Selby (@ZachSelbyWC) July 28, 2024
Tariq Castro-Fields vs Mitchell Tinsley:
Nearly another really nice grab by Tinsley, but Castro-Fields is there to break it up #RaiseHail
— Zach Selby (@ZachSelbyWC) July 28, 2024
Jayden Daniels looking sharper:
Daniels sharper as practice continues. Ripped a sideline throw to Brycen Tremayne in 7s. Came back in 11s and hit McLaurin in stride up the seem. 17 got some YAC after the grab.
— Ben Standig (@BenStandig) July 28, 2024
Kyu Blu Kelly picks off Marcus Mariota:
Kyu Blue Kelly with INT of Marcus Mariota after the defense made a great adjustment and switch of coverage pre-snap with Jeremy Reaves leading way for communication on back end. Was a 4 WR set. #Commanders @team980
— Chris Russell AKA the ! (@Russellmania621) July 28, 2024
Competition:
A lot of mixing and matching in the secondary and along the offensive line.
Two spots with MAJOR competition
— Lynnell Willingham (@Nell_BTP) July 28, 2024
Sloppy 2-minute drill:
Some sloppy offense in simulated 2 min drill. Pass gets dropped then a bad snap out of shotgun
— JP Finlay (@JPFinlayNBCS) July 28, 2024
Quan Martin vs Austin Ekeler:
Quan Martin was just a heat seeking missile in the flat on a shovel pitch toss to Ekeler. Maybe would’ve missed tackle, but… read it and likely would have blown it up. #Commanders
— Chris Russell AKA the ! (@Russellmania621) July 28, 2024
Jayden Daniels —-> Olamide Zaccheaus:
Really nice job by Daniels stepping up and hitting Zaccheeus on an underneath route
— Lynnell Willingham (@Nell_BTP) July 28, 2024
Kicker problems:
Kicking situation is a growing concern in Commanders camp.

Andrew Wylie sidelined:
Context lacking but… Haven’t seen Andrew Wylie in 11s today after he was out for several series late in yesterday’s practice. He is here and did unit drills. Not sensing significant injury.
Brandon Coleman took some LT reps with Cornelius Lucas at RT.
— Ben Standig (@BenStandig) July 28, 2024
Andrew Wylie said he’s dealing with some tightness (didn’t say where) and they’re “just being smart” with it and he’ll be back out there tomorrow.
— Nicki Jhabvala (@NickiJhabvala) July 28, 2024
OL penalties:
Andrew Wylie has hardly been used at RT in team, Commanders still need a kicker (but we knew that) and the pre-snap penalties on the o-line are alarming.
Happy Day 4 of training camp, everyone.
