Washington Commanders camp opens with plenty of new faces on and off the field

Associated Press  

ASHBURN, Va. — Nearly everything about the Washington Commanders is new. When training camp opens Wednesday, new coach Dan Quinn will oversee a team almost totally remade by new general manager Adam Peters. “But you only get one first shot with a whole new group, and we’re not going to miss that shot.” Not missing starts with Daniels, the 2023 Heisman Trophy winner and No. Unlike Chicago with top selection Caleb Williams, the Commanders are not yet anointing Daniels their Week 1 starter, with Quinn said, “When he’s ready, we’ll know.” They are ready to let that process play out in the coming weeks, with Daniels sharing snaps on the practice field and in preseason games with Marcus Mariota. “We’re thrilled about the 90 guys we have here,” said Peters who is in his first role as an NFL GM after a decorated front office career with stops in Denver, New England and most recently working under John Lynch with San Francisco.
