Dan Quinn updates injuries for Commanders' John Bates and Nick Allegretti

Washington Commanders head coach Dan Quinn provided injury updates on August 8, 2026, prior to practice. Tight end John Bates and center Nick Allegretti will both miss another week due to injuries. Bates has a strained hamstring, while Allegretti is dealing with a strained calf. While Quinn stated there are no long-term concerns for either player, the depth behind Allegretti raises questions about the offensive line's stability. The Commanders have recently signed several backup linemen, including Nicholas Petit-Frere and Daniel Brunskill, as they prepare for their upcoming game.
