The Washington Commanders have completed their first week of training camp, which started on July 27. The team has held three practices, with players expected to don pads for the first time on August 2. Early reports indicate the defense appears to be ahead of the offense, with Jayden Daniels facing diverse looks from the defensive coordinator, Daronte Jones. Injury concerns have arisen at center as Nick Allegretti is expected to miss time due to a calf strain. Despite some uncertainty at wide receiver, especially outside of Terry McLaurin, the team is optimistic about the performance of newcomers like Odafe Oweh and Rasul Douglas. The Commanders will resume practices next week, focusing on sharpening their execution in both offense and defense.
