Washington Commanders head coach Dan Quinn made changes to the team's schedule following a 17-13 loss to the Detroit Lions on August 22. In the disappointing preseason performance, the first-team offense managed only one yard on their opening drive, prompting concerns about the offensive line, particularly the center position. Instead of a planned walkthrough on Monday, the team will hold a practice, indicating Quinn's urgency for improvement before their final preseason game on August 27 and joint scrimmage with the Baltimore Ravens on August 25. Quinn's decision marks a shift from his usual player-friendly approach, reflecting his concerns about the team's performance.
