The Washington Commanders held their 2nd day of mandatory minicamp today, and players spoke to the media after practice. Montez Sweat, Chase Young, and Charles Leno all skipped OTAs, but have been back on the field with the team this week. Sweat is entering a contract year, but says him missing voluntary practices wasn’t a contract issue. He said Daron Payne showed him the way last year, and he plans on showing it on the field to get his payday. He knows he needs to finish more plays, and get the QB down like Payne did last season in a contract year.
