Commanders project 53-man roster after first week of training camp
Summary

The Washington Commanders completed their first week of training camp and now project their 53-man roster. Tight end John Bates is expected to miss a few weeks due to a hamstring strain, while center Nick Allegretti has a calf strain and will be sidelined for about a week. Despite these injuries, there are no apparent impacts on the projected roster. The Commanders will return to practice on Monday as they transition to padded practices. The offensive line remains a focal point, particularly with Allegretti's injury adding uncertainty to the backup center position.
