Commanders' 2026 minicamp: Sights and sounds from Day 1

[ASFN Admin]

The Washington Commanders opened their three-day minicamp on Tuesday. Head coach Dan Quinn informed the media ahead of practice that Washington would complete all three days of practice before breaking for training camp in just over a month.

Quinn emphasized what he wanted to see from this week's minicamp. He wants the players who didn't get as much work in OTAs to get more this week. It's all about building depth.

In some good news, wide receivers Terry McLaurin and Antonio Williams, as well as running back Jacory Croskey-Merritt, were back on the field participating in every drill. Croskey-Merritt had worked on the side field during OTAs, while McLaurin and Williams missed some time last week. Outside of the four players recovering from last season's injuries, everyone practiced fully.

As far as what happened on the field, here are some of the best videos and images, courtesy of those in attendance in Ashburn.

Per Dan Quinn, everyone will practice in some form today except the four players coming off end-of-season surgery (Armstrong, Wise, Settle, Amos). That includes Bill, Terry and Antonio Williams. pic.twitter.com/SUaTnnNr1J
