Commanders restore ‘Braves on a warpath’ line to fight song

The Washington Commanders reinstated the phrase ‘Braves on a warpath’ to their fight song during a preseason game against the Miami Dolphins on August 16, 2026. This change reintroduces a Native-adjacent imagery that had been replaced after the team's name change. The Commanders showcased a strong defensive performance after allowing an early score, limiting the Dolphins to no further progress past their own 45-yard line. Running back Robert Henry Jr. shone during the game, leading the team in rushing yards and making a case for a spot on the Week 1 roster.
