#Broncos pass-rusher Frank Clark, who injured his hip in yesterday’s practice and did not practice today, is expected to miss a couple weeks, source said. The injury is not considered serious, but he is week-to-week.

Chase Young was a full participant today in practice. Washington was in shells today. They like how Young has responded to the contact in practice. Still up to the doctors about Sunday. Has a chance. it’s not his call.

— John Keim (@john_keim) September 14, 2023

Of course it’s his call.

If it had been he would have played last week.

History at stake for Sam Howell on Sunday, per the @NFL.

With both a passing and rushing touchdown at Denver, Howell becomes the first player ever to record a passing and rushing touchdown in each of his first three career games.

Sam Howell started madden with a 66 overall. Already up to a 71. He could be this years biggest mover if he keeps improving. #HTTC

Bieniemy: "When we needed Sam to be at his best, he was at his best & made plays for us. Guys will struggle & have bad moments. But that's why we practiced the way we practiced. Everything won't be perfect, but the only thing you have to do is be the best team over 60 minutes."

Great line by Eric Bieniemy here:

Del Rio on Montez Sweat: "Biggest thing we harped on all along was about the finish. He ends up doing some nice finishing."

My 2 cents: A big key in his 1.5 sacks was the coverage. Gave him a little extra time to get home. As they say, it works hand in hand. Pivotal.

The speed that Daron Payne gets off of his blocker on this play is crazy

Commanders RB Brian Robinson told reporters that assistant S&C coach/nutritionist Jake Sankal told players to drink beet juice to help them acclimate to the altitude Denver. Why?

Beet juice is rich in nitrate, which helps with blood flow.

I'm not concerned about Denver's run game. At all. Javonte Williams is still lacking burst and wiggle. If anything, Perine is the more explosive at the moment.

Also, if Jakobi Meyers can have a "field day" against the Broncos CB2, I don't see why Jahan Dotson can't. #HTTC pic.twitter.com/v80ldmpjfV

Consensus evaluation of #Commanders offensive line W1 performance, during/after game: bad. By Wednesday: average to above-average. This is unusual.

So far I’ve learned in week 1 to not jump to conclusions after watching the game live. Re-watched at home, I came out with a different perspective. It’s only week 1 but I really like what I’ve seen so far with Howell.

Sure, Cheeseman’s snapping yips will eventually cost a close game, but Rivera has a plan: “Well, it is a concern more than anything else. And so we'll just continue to have Camaron snap and until, unfortunately something happens, then we'll decide from there.”
