Commanders rebuild roster and coaching staff ahead of Eagles divisional matchup
Summary

The Washington Commanders visit Lincoln Financial Field this Sunday with a significantly altered lineup compared to their victory in last season’s finale. Under new offensive coordinator David Blough and defensive coordinator Daronte Jones, the team features a retooled roster surrounding Jayden Daniels. Key acquisitions include receiver Stefon Diggs, tight end Chig Okonkwo, and running back Rachaad White, while the offensive line features new starters in Brandon Coleman, Josh Conerly Jr., and Nick Allegretti. The defense debuts a revamped secondary and new linebackers, including Odafe Oweh, K’Lavon Chaisson, Sonny Styles, and Frankie Luvu. Despite these moves, several additions remain sidelined, as Trey Amos, Laremy Tunsil, and Jer’Zhan Newton start the season on injured reserve. The Philadelphia Eagles prepare for the opener with limited regular-season film on Washington’s new schemes.
