The Washington Commanders training camp rolls on for Day 11 in Ashburn, VA. Today will be a little different, with the Miami Dolphins in town for a joint practice Wednesday morning and the first preseason game on Friday night.
Head coach Dan Quinn spoke to reporters before the start of Wednesday’s practice. Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels and linebacker Leo Chenal also held Q&As after practice, while other players were interviewed on the field.
Quinn outlined the structure of the joint practice, which would entail relatively short periods with an emphasis on 1-on-1s, red-zone work, 7-on-7s, team drills, including drive-the-ball work, two-minute drills and you-call-it segments. He didn’t provide much information on who would play in Friday’s preseason contest against the Dolphins, preferring to hold that information until game day. It’s safe to say, though, that first-team guys who work a ton in the joint practices probably won’t play in the game.
Daniels had an excellent practice by all accounts, showing the pinpoint accuracy that has become commonplace during this training camp.
Here’s more of what we heard from Quinn, Daniels, Chenal and Commanders players on Wednesday morning:

Dan Quinn says the goal is to get a lot of good work in today with the Dolphins, starting with one-on-ones, then moving into 7-on-7, teams, red zone, etc…practice should be hoppin and poppin today. Figuratively and literally.

Quinn says no game planning for this joint practice (or preseason), it’s more about working through the skills and logistics

Dan Quinn didn’t say how much the starters would play Friday. In the past , if they got a lot of action in the joint sessions they typically didn’t play in the games.
