First day of voluntary OTA workouts for the Commanders. All but 3 attended: Chase Young, Montez Sweat and Charles Leno, Jr. Per source. Again: voluntary.
— John Keim (@john_keim) May 23, 2023
I can't wait for the "it's voluntary" crowd to pretend like Chase Young not being at OTAs today is reasonable.
— Grant Paulsen (@granthpaulsen) May 23, 2023
You gotta give them credit. They're maintaining the same energy after the team declined his option and he's managed 1.5 sacks and 3 TFLs in his last 13 games played.
Remember. Reuben Foster tore his knee to shreds and essentially had his professional football career ended on a non contact drill at a voluntary OTA practice….

Uh? Curl was the highest graded safety in the NFL for much of last season, per PFF grades. Ended up 2nd overall. So, I’d argue he has “broken out” already.

Coach Del Rio on his thoughts on the group heading into the 2023 season
Thought this was interesting from Del Rio on Forrest's rise: "There was a point in time where it was like, ‘He needs to play.’ And he got on the field. Really Bobby [McCain], I love Bobby. ... But to have guys like Percy, DFoe and now Quan, it was time to make room for ‘em." https://t.co/rf547uVP2c

Speaking on the new fair catch rule, NFL exec Jeff Miller cites higher concussion rates on kickoffs and punts relative to other plays and says unprompted: “There may be more to come.”
— Tom Pelissero (@TomPelissero) May 23, 2023
Modeling says return rate will drop from 38% to 31% and concussion rate drop 15%, Miller says.
Miller: “The kickoff play has the highest rate of concussion year after year. You can’t stand by and do nothing.”
— Tom Pelissero (@TomPelissero) May 23, 2023
Rich McKay, chair of the competition committee, says last year was the highest return rate in 9 years.

The vote on the kickoff touchback rule was 26-5-1, per sources. The Ravens, Patriots, Bengals, Bears and Lions voted against it, and the Raiders abstained. The proposal wasn't close to passing Monday. Roger Goodell lobbied hard for it overnight, and flipped a bunch of teams.
