Commanders recover key players as Nick Allegretti returns to practice
Summary

The Washington Commanders returned to the practice field Monday following the finalization of the initial 53-man roster on Sunday. Several players sidelined by injury returned to action, including center Nick Allegretti, quarterback Mariota, tight end Ben Sinnott, and defensive tackle Daron Payne. Allegretti had missed nearly all of training camp after suffering a calf strain on the opening day, creating concern regarding the center position. The team also finalized two roster adjustments by placing Laremy Tunsil and Johnny Newton on the injured reserve and re-signing Fabian Moreau and Shy Tuttle. These roster updates and player returns occur as the team prepares for the regular-season opener against the Philadelphia Eagles in 13 days.
