Dan Quinn Presser: We’re right in the middle of the WR competition, OZ has had a really strong camp.
Dan Quinn speaks to the media before joint practice with the Dolphins.
The Washington Commanders are having joint practices with the Miami Dolphins today and head coach Dan Quinn talked to the media before the 10am start. Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel was on Quinn’s coaching staff with the Atlanta Falcons under OC Kyle Shanahan. McDaniel talked about his impact on his life and career yesterday, and Quinn said the young coach was a great teacher, and he could make the complex sound simple.
The quarterback room was thin due to injuries, so Washington signed Trace McSorley this morning. He will practice with the team and play against the Dolphins on Saturday. Marcus Mariota is dealing with a groin injury, but Quinn downplayed the severity, and time needed to recover(“it’s not long”). Undrafted free agent Sam Hartman suffered a shoulder injury in his NFL debut vs the Jets and won’t be able to practice or play this week. Jayden Daniels is expected to get the start again, and should get more than one series before veteran Jeff Driskel takes over.
The wide receiver competition continues to be a topic that reporters ask Dan Quinn about. There have been rumors, whispers, and reports about Jahan Dotson’s lackluster camp, and his late use in the first preseason game. Quinn was asked about it again today and he said they are right in the middle of the competition, and then brought up Olamide Zacchaeus as a receiver who has impressed.
