The Washington Commanders training camp rolls on for Day 10 in Ashburn, VA. The team was in pads yesterday, but will have a lighter practice today. Tomorrow the Commanders are hosting the Miami Dolphins with a later start time, and that should be loaded with action for fans to watch.

Head coach Dan Quinn spoke to reporters before the start of today’s practice. Defensive coordinator Daronte Jones is scheduled for his first Q&A of training camp after practice, along with players getting interviewed on the field. Nick Allegretti(calf) and Trey Amos(ankle) will both miss the first preseason game vs the Dolphins on Friday night. Quinn said he expected Allegretti to be on the field when the team returns to practice on Sunday, but Amos needs to be reevaluated after landing awkwardly while covering Terry McLaurin shortly after returning to practice.

Washington is dealing with a more serious injury that will affect most, or all of the season depending on if Laremy Tunsil can return from a torn triceps. Brandon Coleman is shifting over to left tackle, and he’s the starter there again, a position he’s started 18 games at over his first two years in the league. Quinn said Tunsil’s injury isn’t ideal, but the team has confidence in Coleman and he’s put he work in to be able to take over.
