The Washington Commanders are back in Ashburn for the first day of training camp practices. New owners Josh Harris and Mitchell Rales were in attendance for the first time, and there were a few other guests watch the team work out. Sam Howell looked sharp today in the shorter-than-usual practice. Chase Young has shed the brace on his surgically repaired knee, and looking ready for his contract season. Daron Payne is dealing with a minor injury(toe), and didn’t practice today.

Chase Young:
This is a great sign. Chase Young is no longer wearing a knee brace on his right knee. pic.twitter.com/uzfb7RDYk0
— Scott Abraham (@Scott7news) July 26, 2023
No brace for Chase Young. His get off looks good. Again: no stutter stepping. Big key for him. Allows him to maintain power with his hands

Sam Howell & Brian Robinson:

— Zach Selby (@ZachSelbyWC) July 26, 2023
Wow what a catch from BRob to start team drills. Made an over the shoulder grab near the sideline with near perfect ball placement from Howell
— Zach Selby (@ZachSelbyWC) July 26, 2023
Sam Howell —-> Terry McLaurin:

Really nice throw and catch from Howell to McLaurin, who had Forbes all over him
— Zach Selby (@ZachSelbyWC) July 26, 2023
Jacoby Brissett —-> Jahan Dotson:
Shallow cross and a hook. KC staple. Brissett to Dotson, Howell to McLaurin. pic.twitter.com/KujC9jUOda

Saahdiq Charles:
Saahdiq Charles got the first rep at LG in team drills.

Eric Bieniemy:
Bieniemy’s already in the zone today. Just yelled at players not to slow down and every play is live. “It’s work time!” #HTTC
— Zach Selby (@ZachSelbyWC) July 26, 2023
Sam Howell —-> Jahan Dotson:
Howell starts 7-on-7 drills with a strike to Dotson. Defense seem to think they got a fumble but the play was clearly over
— Zach Selby (@ZachSelbyWC) July 26, 2023
Sam Howell —-> Antonio Gibson:
And Howell follows up the pass to Dotson with a rainbow to Gibson #HTTC
— Zach Selby (@ZachSelbyWC) July 26, 2023
Offensive line:
Is the third tweet too soon for offensive line depth talk? Tyler Larsen is the second-team center and Ricky Stromberg is behind him. Also of note: Cornelius Lucas is staying on the right side behind Andrew Wylie. It’s Trent Scott on the left side, behind Leno.
— Matthew Paras (@Matthew_Paras) July 26, 2023
Kamren Curl vs Terry McLaurin:
Nice job by Curl covering McLaurin. Good ball placement, but just out of his reach because of Curl’s coverage #HTTC
— Zach Selby (@ZachSelbyWC) July 26, 2023
First INT:
First interception of camp comes from DJ Stirgus. Fromm was the quarterback on the play
— Zach Selby (@ZachSelbyWC) July 26, 2023
Second INT:
Terrell Burgess gets another pick for the defense. Looked like the ball bounced off John Bates’ shoulder. Brissett was the QB on the play
— Zach Selby (@ZachSelbyWC) July 26, 2023
Third INT:
Another pick from the defense. This time it was Christian Holmes on a pass from Brissett #HTTC
— Zach Selby (@ZachSelbyWC) July 26, 2023
Sam Howell —-> Logan Thomas:
and we are back pic.twitter.com/cnlCkmsQ4T
— Washington Commanders (@Commanders) July 26, 2023
Logan Thomas just used all of his 6-6 frame to reach out and grab a pass from Howell. Forrest on the coverage #HTTC
— Zach Selby (@ZachSelbyWC) July 26, 2023
Emmanuel Forbes vs Byron Pringle:
Nice recovery and PBU from Forbes on Pringle, who had the ball briefly on the pass from Howell. Forbes knocked it loose before Pringle could secure it. #HTTC

Everyone picked up right where they left off

Team reporter @ZachSelbyWC's notebook from the first practice
It was a sweaty 90-minute practice filled with defensive highlights and quarterback mistakes, Rick Snider says of Day 1 of Commanders camp, but everyone looked refreshed. https://t.co/M19Vr3hxux
