Cam Sims just made a really tough catch on the opposite sideline. Had WJ3 giving some tight coverage on him.

— Zach Selby (@ZachSelbyWFT) July 28, 2021

Chase Young blew past RT Sam Cosmi on the second play of 11v11.

Ryan Fitzpatrick was able to find Cam Sims on the sideline for a tough catch with William Jackson in coverage

Chase Young just blew into the back field (untouched) & would have lit Fitz up on a play action fake. #WashingtonFootball

— Chris Russell AKA The Rooster (@Russellmania621) July 28, 2021

J.D. McKissic on the third play picks up where he left off last season, with a huge run up the gut.

Peels off an easy first down, wasn’t touched til he reached the lardons level

— Rhiannon Walker (@InstantRHIplay) July 28, 2021

Patterson just had a solid run that got into the second level of the defense. The man’s got some quickness to him.

— Zach Selby (@ZachSelbyWFT) July 28, 2021

Heinicke now in at QB and opened up with a dump off to Steven Sims.

— Zach Selby (@ZachSelbyWFT) July 28, 2021

Whew, Kelvin Harmon with a shoe-string catch on the right sideline with defense in good coverage.

Kyle Allen with a nice ball where Harmon was the only one who could get it

— Rhiannon Walker (@InstantRHIplay) July 28, 2021

Kelvin Harmon just made a sliding catch on a pass from Kyle Allen. Made the extra effort to get the reception. Yeah it looks like his knee is doing just fine.

— Zach Selby (@ZachSelbyWFT) July 28, 2021

Jamin Davis at MIKE with the 1s during team drills (base). Bobby McCain at FS. Landon Collins at SS. Kendall Fuller and William Jackson at corner.

— Nicki Jhabvala (@NickiJhabvala) July 28, 2021

Ben St-Juste is with the first team getting work in the slot.

Bobby McCain was the deep safety. Kam Curl Buffalo nickel.

Adam Humphries speed by Kendall Fuller on a slant out of the slot and was gone

— Rhiannon Walker (@InstantRHIplay) July 28, 2021

Saahdiq Charles is getting some work at RT and Ereck Flowers at LG with the first team.

Rivera said they’re going to find the best combo of players to put on the field, so a lot of folks are getting looks.

— Rhiannon Walker (@InstantRHIplay) July 28, 2021

Schweitzer just had a really nice block on Jon Allen. Used some nice footwork when Allen tried to turn back towards the quarterback.

— Zach Selby (@ZachSelbyWFT) July 28, 2021

Back-to-back completions for Fitzpatrick. First he found Humphries wide open and then found Dyami Brown. Solid work.

— Zach Selby (@ZachSelbyWFT) July 28, 2021

Ryan Fitzpatrick loves him some Adam Humphries. Turning into a safety blanket as the downs go on.

— Matthew Paras (@Matthew_Paras) July 28, 2021

Fitzpatrick just unloaded on a deep shot to McLaurin, who hauled in the throw. The magic continues.

— Zach Selby (@ZachSelbyWFT) July 28, 2021

We can get used to this connection pic.twitter.com/7bmnHyMb0t

— Washington Football Team (@WashingtonNFL) July 28, 2021

Holcomb very nearly had a pick but it slipped through his fingers. Had a nice break on the ball though

— Zach Selby (@ZachSelbyWFT) July 28, 2021

William Jackson III is highly physical at the line with receivers. Will be fun to watch him and Terry McClaurin work vs. each other.

— John Keim (@john_keim) July 28, 2021

Something of interest. See a yellow jersey with the RBs. QB Steven Montez doing some drills with the running backs

— Rhiannon Walker (@InstantRHIplay) July 28, 2021

Kamren Curl with an answer to the Adam Humphries slant party. Comes in with a nice pass breakup against the slot receiver

— Rhiannon Walker (@InstantRHIplay) July 28, 2021

DeAndre Carter getting some work in the slot with the first team.

Landon Collins at SS with Bobby McCain at FS.

Daryl Roberts comes in as the third CB

— Rhiannon Walker (@InstantRHIplay) July 28, 2021

Jeremy Reaves with a great read on a pass intended for Temarrick Hemingway. Comes over the top and seats the ball to the turf right as it was getting to him

— Rhiannon Walker (@InstantRHIplay) July 28, 2021

Sheesh. Isaiah Wright went up in the middle between three defenders and looked to bring in an impressive catch.

Not so fast, Darrick Forrest dislodged the ball as Wright was coming down with it to force the incompletion. Great job staying with it

— Rhiannon Walker (@InstantRHIplay) July 28, 2021

Another variation: Kendall Fuller at slot corner, Benjamin St-Juste on the outside . Roberts and Moreland took precious slot reps.

— Matthew Paras (@Matthew_Paras) July 28, 2021

Antonio Gandy-Golden just had a really nice grab. He put his hands out at the last second with some insane quickness.

— Zach Selby (@ZachSelbyWFT) July 28, 2021

Taylor slingin' it
Sammis snaggin' it pic.twitter.com/5gWy7sVHq4

— Washington Football Team (@WashingtonNFL) July 28, 2021

We just had a Taylor Heinicke deep completion to Sammis Reyes. Go nuts, WFT Twitter.

— Ben Standig (@BenStandig) July 28, 2021

Taylor Heinicke hits Sammis Reyes up the seam on a clean ball. Nice catch from Reyes, too. Fan nearby: “That’s QB1!”

(The reps were not first team)

— Matthew Paras (@Matthew_Paras) July 28, 2021

William Bradley-King with another pass knock down..That's his 2nd of day & at least fourth by defense today. #WashingtonFootball

— Chris Russell AKA The Rooster (@Russellmania621) July 28, 2021

Random guys having a solid day:
- WR DeAndre Carter (fast)
- DE Williams Bradley-King (couple of tipped balls)
- CB Torry McTver (few pass breaks ups early on)

— Matthew Paras (@Matthew_Paras) July 28, 2021

For those interested in punt returners: Steven Sims, Isaiah Wright, DeAndre Carter and Dax Milne are catching kicks during punt drills.

— Zach Selby (@ZachSelbyWFT) July 28, 2021

And the first interception of training camp goes to the People’s Corner Jimmy Moreland.

Tipped Ryan Fitzpatrick pass and Moreland makes the heads up play.

— Rhiannon Walker (@InstantRHIplay) July 28, 2021

Antonio Gibson just caused an interception by Jimmy Moreland over the Middle. Should have caught it..didn't & popped innair for easy pick. #WashingtonFootball

— Chris Russell AKA The Rooster (@Russellmania621) July 28, 2021

The people’s corner, Jimmy Moreland with an interception off a ball that deflected off Gibson’s hands. pic.twitter.com/cid5t1TPru

Terry McLaurin with a nice toe-drag catch against William Jackson in coverage.

— Nicki Jhabvala (@NickiJhabvala) July 28, 2021

Ryan Fitzpatrick comes back on the very next play and makes a pass on a rope to the left sideline to Terry McLaurin, who dragged his trailing foot for the completion.

William Jackson was in great coverage, just better offense on that one

— Rhiannon Walker (@InstantRHIplay) July 28, 2021

Wow. DeAndre Carter nearly came up with the most impressive catch of the day. Taylor Heinicke unloaded a deep pass on the right sideline, Carter had two defenders in coverage, but used great concentration to grab the ball.

As he went to the turf, the ball squeezed out for an INC

— Rhiannon Walker (@InstantRHIplay) July 28, 2021

Kelvin Harmon on the dig route.

Washington is working on 11 and 12 personnel.

Defense is playing lots of single high safety.

Pretty vanilla, but the 12 passes were aggressive. pic.twitter.com/y9yFdE7Tj2

— WFT News (@wftnews1) July 28, 2021

First day of training camp closes with Kelvin Harmon doing more of the same. Takes a slant in stride up the field and that’s that

— Rhiannon Walker (@InstantRHIplay) July 28, 2021

Kam and Gotcha.
Scherff and Flowers.
Fitzy.

Instead of traditional autographs, players are going to sign mini-footballs and toss them to the crowd. pic.twitter.com/VGD2gRjxWH

— michael phillips (@michaelpRTD) July 28, 2021

To make up for no up-close autographs opportunities for fans, Taylor Heinicke, Jamin Davis and Jeremy Reaves were among the players signing mini footballs and tossing them to fans. pic.twitter.com/fGktAg5uth
