After a much needed day off, first player down to the field is … *drumroll* … once again Jequez Ezzard #HTTC pic.twitter.com/Ki0LkjCVV6

Antonio Gibson working in RZ drills. Showed quickness on inside slant against Kendall Fuller for a TD from Wentz. Run with ball hard outside to corner right after.

Cool moment after this rep - Wentz talked to Gibson about being a bit more patient at the line of scrimmage before he starts the route

There was a nice execution from Reyes and McGowan as the starting offense wrapped up their session. McGowan set up the block for Reyes by stretching the play out a bit further, and Reyes sealed off Fuller

Training camp Day 5: John Bates still among those sidelined, but here’s a look at the tight ends. Cole Turner and Curtis Hodges have all had nice camps so far: pic.twitter.com/DU4TqoJhYc

It’s fun to watch J.D. McKissic runs routes. Able to create separation with quick twitch moves but also knows how to sell routes. And quick enough to stem outside, turn inside and then cut back outside as he did today for a TD vs Hudson. Tough to defend.

Antonio Gibson participating in position drills.

John Bates, Troy Apke and DeJuan Neal also on the side.

Not seeing Trai Turner (quad) in uniform. Would be a 4th consecutive missed practice. https://t.co/hFz1U5Zo0e

— Ben Standig (@BenStandig) August 1, 2022

DB DeJuan Neal and C Tyler Larsen over there is well.

After an impressive juke Thursday, Samuel seems set to now not practice for three days in a row. https://t.co/eGmVp3o4wO

— Sam Fortier (@Sam4TR) August 1, 2022

I see three players back catching punts on special teams drills: Erickson, McGowan and Dotson

— Zach Selby (@ZachSelbyWC) August 1, 2022

Curtis Hodges just made a really nice catch from Wentz. He did have to jump, but he had to really extend to bring it in

— Zach Selby (@ZachSelbyWC) August 1, 2022

The defense was using five linemen for a few plays: from JSW, Allen, Mathis, Payne and Sweat

— Zach Selby (@ZachSelbyWC) August 1, 2022

Fuller just grabbed his first pick of the week breaking on a pass from Wentz to Sims. Fuller was one of my standouts last week, and it’s carrying over into Week 2

— Zach Selby (@ZachSelbyWC) August 1, 2022

And on the next play, Wentz’s overthrow results in a Kam Curl pick. Curl with a helluva leap to haul it in https://t.co/gC5qtIW9RQ

— Matthew Paras (@Matthew_Paras) August 1, 2022

Kendall Fuller and Kam Curl intercept Carson Wentz on consecutive plays in 9 on 9. Wentz is missing his spots and the secondary is capitalizing

— Pete Hailey (@PeteHaileyNBCS) August 1, 2022

Wentz interceptions on b2b plays. Second pick sailed over Cole Turner and into the arms of Kam Curl.

— Ben Standig (@BenStandig) August 1, 2022

Now Percy Butler with the interception. Jumped a Taylor Heinicke pass. That's 3 INT in 4 plays.

— Ben Standig (@BenStandig) August 1, 2022

Chris Harris, responding to the secondary’s dominant run in team drills so far: “YESSIR! YESSIR! COMMANDO LOCKDOWN!

— Nicki Jhabvala (@NickiJhabvala) August 1, 2022

So many drops today. Cam Sims, Dyami Brown and Marken Michel among those who’ve let it slip.

— Matthew Paras (@Matthew_Paras) August 1, 2022

Goal line drills are going on right now. Heinicke delivered a strike to Cole Turner, who made the falling catch in the back of the end zone. Really starting to get excited about Turner as a red zone target this season

— Zach Selby (@ZachSelbyWC) August 1, 2022

Terry McLaurin was just matched up in the slot with Jamin Davis and ran a fade-ish route to the corner. Wentz looked elsewhere and Terry was animated (not mad, not showing up Wentz, just animated). “Throw it to me when I’m on a linebacker!”

— Pete Hailey (@PeteHaileyNBCS) August 1, 2022

Ryan Kerrigan is back on the sideline at Commanders practice, standing with the defense during team drills.

— Nicki Jhabvala (@NickiJhabvala) August 1, 2022

Sam Howell becomes the third quarterback to throw an interception today (Reaves on the grab). I think I just heard @BenStandig say the Commanders need to bring back Steven Montez.

— Matthew Paras (@Matthew_Paras) August 1, 2022

Carson Wentz with his third interception of practice. Bobby McCain gets in on the fun.

— Matthew Paras (@Matthew_Paras) August 1, 2022

The defense started off Week 2️⃣ strong

⁦@Commanders⁩ just wrapped up training camp practice 5 and I’ve got you covered with the latest! https://t.co/1aIk9vo1NU

There is standard athlete conditioning, and there is football conditioning. Six days (and five practices) into training camp, Curtis Samuel has not achieved the latter. On the Samuel plan and Commanders training camp recap:https://t.co/v8vOzRfRjy

Commanders camp notebook:

Curtis Samuel is not in “football conditioning and shape”
Antonio Gibson in team work
✈️ Defense establishes no-fly zone
RG Trai Turner, TE John Bates among those still out
Coach Ryan Kerrigan
Pads on tomorrowhttps://t.co/hXQ9sQdTX4
