The Washington Commanders are on the field again for the third, and final day of mandatory mini-camp. Coaches have canceled the last day of mini-camp in the past, but Ron Rivera wanted to give the young players on the team another practice before the long break until training camp next month.
Last day of mini-camp not cancelled:
NFL tradition is to cancel the final day of offseason workouts.

Attendance:
Looks like Trai Turner is getting a vet day. Charles Leno and Cornelius Lucas aren’t out for practice, so they’re missing their second day straight

Not seeing Charles Leno or Cornelius Lucas today. Both absent yesterday.

Curtis Samuel here but watching the WR drills. Same with Dax Milne. Both on the side yesterday. Samuel also sat last week with media in attendance.

Curtis Samuel is here, but not practicing. Of the six practice (OTAs and minicamp) sessions available to the media, Samuel hasn’t practiced in three of them. pic.twitter.com/rMR8B7sCBt

Randy Jordan:
I’ve seen a lot of Randy Jordan running back drills these past few years, and I feel like he’s rarely used the same one twice. They’re always so unique pic.twitter.com/hkQWkLap4X

Tight Ends:
TEs John Bates and Cole Turner. Per my baseless practice metrics, Turner makes an acrobatic catch like this about 50 percent of the time. pic.twitter.com/iYiOSsqoNK

Backups in action:
Looks like the backups are getting the bulk of the reps for the final day of minicamp. Sam Howell’s first completed pass of the day is to Alex Erickson, who made the grab for a TD

Chris Harris:
At Commanders practice on Thursday, DBs coach Chris Harris kept throwing sideline balls that may have been a little too hard to catch.

CB William Jackson III had a response:
“Can we get an inbounds pass, Colt McCoy?” pic.twitter.com/NHE6Bg0uD9
Cole Kelley = Steven Montez:
Practice ended after quarterback Cole Kelly was intercepted for a pick-6. We call that the Steven Montez around these parts
