TE Sammis Reyes is back in uniform as is Temarrick Hemingway. Both missed with concussions last week. Curtis Samuel not in pads but going thru stretching. Casey Toohill still not in pads.
Don’t yet see WR Dyami Brown or LB Khaleke Hudson.

While on the topic of banged up free agents, Curtis Samuel is also on the side field. He’s done one day’s worth of individual drills since being removed from the PUP on Aug. 15 and today the field is as dry as can be, meaning there’s no “we wanna keep him off wet grass” excuse https://t.co/CgoMMmkd5U

More Sammis Reyes. Pete Hoener didn't love his initial blocking route so made him repeat. pic.twitter.com/nBUvBAvNkV

Team drills: William Jackson III (thigh) still being held out. Kendall Fuller returns. Bostic and Holcomb in nickel, McCain and Collins the safeties.

— Matthew Paras (@Matthew_Paras) August 23, 2021

Ereck Flowers still starting at LG in 11-on-11. Wes Schweitzer, who started at LG for the first two weeks, remains the second-team RG. Wes Martin second-team LG.

Peyton Barber just had two really great back-to-back plays. One the first he followed his blockers and cut upfield through a crease in the defense. The next was a completed pass near the sideline. Both got praise from Randy Jordan

Milne just caught a fade pass for a TD. The hype grows. https://t.co/uozjvecUE8

Dax Milne gets the Terry McLaurin seal of approval on an end zone fade. He shook Troy Apke for the score with Terry screaming “good release! Good f***** release!

— Zach Selby (@ZachSelbyWFT) August 23, 2021

No William Jackson during team drills.

Torry McTyer and Jimmy Moreland getting run with the 1s

Dax Milne with nice catch from from Ryan Fitzpatrick on an out route.

Ricky Seals-Jones with the first team too

— Rhiannon Walker (@InstantRHIplay) August 23, 2021

Another deep bomb, this time from Heinicke to JD McKissic. Caught the pass for at least a 30-yard gain, and Randy Jordan yelled “Hell yeah!” from the other side of the field

— Zach Selby (@ZachSelbyWFT) August 23, 2021

J.D. McKissic just beat Jamin Davis deep down the sideline. Outraced him. Davis has been working primarily with the twos lately in sub packages.

— Matthew Paras (@Matthew_Paras) August 23, 2021

Taylor Heinicke dropped a dime right into J.D. McKissic’s bread basket. Blew right by Jamin Davis on a go route. Would’ve been an easy touchdown

— Rhiannon Walker (@InstantRHIplay) August 23, 2021

Not seeing Kam Curl.

Safeties for the 1s have been Bobby McCain and Landon Collins.

Ryan Fitzpatrick has his second long touchdown of the morning. This time finds a wide open Terry McLaurin coming across the formation. McCain chases after McLaurin along the right sideline

— Rhiannon Walker (@InstantRHIplay) August 23, 2021

Jamin Davis just blew up Cam Sims spot on a route to the right sideline. Sims was a little slow to get up, but the first team is now on the sideline, so he’s getting some rest

— Rhiannon Walker (@InstantRHIplay) August 23, 2021

Landon Collins picked off Ryan Fitzpatrick in the middle of the end zone. Chris Harris of course went nuts.

— Nicki Jhabvala (@NickiJhabvala) August 23, 2021

Ryan Fitzpatrick giveth and take the away.

Waits patiently on one throw for Logan Thomas to work across the formation and throws the easy touchdown to him, with no one around.

Next rep, throws into congestion in the endzone, and Landon Collins intercepts and takes it back

— Rhiannon Walker (@InstantRHIplay) August 23, 2021

Welp. A play after Ryan Fitzpatrick hit Terry McLaurin for a nice gain on a slant, he throws a pick right to Cole Holcomb.

Logan Thomas looked to be the intended target. There were a number of defenders in the middle of the field

— Rhiannon Walker (@InstantRHIplay) August 23, 2021

Kam Curl has not been out here. Bobby McCain and Collins running with the ones at safety. Deshazor Everett with the twos.

— Nicki Jhabvala (@NickiJhabvala) August 23, 2021

The defensive line has gotten very close to actually hitting Fitzpatrick today. Jonathan Allen bumped into him earlier, then Montez Sweat seemed to make contact too. Rivera chatted with Allen about it. https://t.co/zFUKkKtNRL

— Matthew Paras (@Matthew_Paras) August 23, 2021

Holcomb with an INT off Fitz in 2 minute drills. Jumped an underneath route but not a crisp session for the offense

— JP Finlay (@JPFinlayNBCS) August 23, 2021

Cole Holcomb gets an interception on Fitz in two-minute drills…and promptly celebrates by punting the ball across the field

— Zach Selby (@ZachSelbyWFT) August 23, 2021

Chase Young has been an absolute monster today. Flying around the edge. Fitzpatrick just threw an INT right to Cole Holcomb, in part, because it looked like he was was worried about the pressure from the edge

— Matthew Paras (@Matthew_Paras) August 23, 2021

Troy Apke has two picks and a PBU today.

— Nicki Jhabvala (@NickiJhabvala) August 23, 2021

Troy Apke just keeps making plays. True story. Intercepts a Taylor Heinicke out pass to the left, the side Heinicke has admitted is a struggle at times.

— Ben Standig (@BenStandig) August 23, 2021

Second team is now on the sideline, and Troy Apke made a great break on the ball to intercept Taylor Heinicke. Pass was intended for Dax Milne.

After the play, the offense and defense were talking from opposite sidelines, the gist being the defense saying, scoreboard

— Rhiannon Walker (@InstantRHIplay) August 23, 2021

On that slant to Terry McLaurin, he bounced off Torry McTyer. The offense signaled touchdown. Ron Rivera said next play.

McLaurin says, “That was a broken tackle and touchdown, and you know it.”

Chase Young says back, “Guess what, Terry? The big man says otherwise!”

— Rhiannon Walker (@InstantRHIplay) August 23, 2021

Practice ends with Kyle Allen stepping up in the pocket, sees John Bates running around the back of the endzone open. Allen throws a dart to him for the touchdown

— Rhiannon Walker (@InstantRHIplay) August 23, 2021

A little post-practice work between St Juste and Gandy-Golden ...@BenStandig pic.twitter.com/2wCDEyomKJ

— John Keim (@john_keim) August 23, 2021

After practice, Benjamin St-Juste did some work with Dax Milne and Antonio Gandy-Golden. Was talking with both of them as he ran with them. Appeared to be showing them why he was doing what he was doing

There was a lot of lineup news and a little bit of Troy Apke hype at Monday's WFT practice in Ashburn. Allow me to clue you in right here https://t.co/88Qegnbu5l
