The Washington Commanders are on the field again for the second day of mandatory mini-camp. Carson Wentz didn’t have his most consistent day of practice per reporters on the scene. Warren Sapp was in attendance today and helped run drills with the defensive line. Curtis Samuel had a good day yesterday, but returned to the side field again for today’s session. Jahan Dotson continues to catch everything thrown his way.

John Matsko is fired up today, man. “Now I know why they cut your a—-, you can’t even hold the f—-ing bag”

Seems like with the heat, coaches might be pushing guys to see if they can handle it. Juan Castillo is particularly animated, too.

Charles Leno:
Charles Leno walked off yesterday with a trainer and he doesn’t appear to be practicing today. Don’t see him in drills or on the side field.

Saahdiq Charles:
Minicamp Day 2 team drills thread: Saahdiq Charles is playing left tackle with Leno and Lucas not here. Wentz was picked off by Cole Holcomb, though Holcomb dropped it as he started to run back m.

Taylor Heinicke vs Troy Apke:
Taylor Heinicke airs it out to Marken Michel, and it’s broken up by…Troy Apke

Taylor Heinicke —-> Marken Michel:
Heinicke just threw a bomb to Marken Michel, who had a step on Corn Elder. Michel hauled in the pass and finished the play in the end zone

Defense showing up:
Defense has been in the backfield a lot To start out the day. They just shut down what was a pitch to the outside
— Zach Selby (@ZachSelbyWC) June 15, 2022
Linebackers:
Jamin Davis is with the second team in red zone drills and he just fell down badly when trying to contain Heinicke on the run. Instead of David Mayo ahead of him though, it’s been Khaleke Hudson so far
— Matthew Paras (@Matthew_Paras) June 15, 2022
Antonio Gandy-Golden:
Great catch from Antonio Gandy Golden in corner of end zone. Little Moss action even
— JP Finlay (@JPFinlayNBCS) June 15, 2022
Some nice splash plays during that period:
— Matthew Paras (@Matthew_Paras) June 15, 2022
- Percy Butler made a fantastic read to pick off Heinicke in the back of the end zone. Not a bad throw either, just read it perfectly.
- Antonio Gandy-Golden had a sick catch in the corner of the end zone. Used size really well
Percy Butler:
Percy Butler with a great play in goal line - goes up high for an INT in traffic. Rookie starting to make plays
— JP Finlay (@JPFinlayNBCS) June 15, 2022
Taylor Heinicke just threw an interception in end zone to rookie Percy Butler. #Commanders

Carson Wentz inconsistency:
This might be Carson Wentz’s most uneven day of OTAs. It’s not that he’s been bad, just some throws are all over the place (including some very impressive ones)
— Matthew Paras (@Matthew_Paras) June 15, 2022
Starting units just went through two-minute drills. With 4 seconds on the clock, Wentz’s pass to Dotson falls incomplete. BSJ was defending on the play

Goals for @JahanDotson: Learn, get comfortable and make all the plays
