Commanders' Day 8 camp highlights amid injuries to key linemen
Washington's eighth training-camp session featured notable performances from several players while the team dealt with injuries to center Nick Allegretti, tight end John Bates and left tackle Laremy Tunsil.
During the third padded practice of the week, Washington coach Dan Quinn announced that center Nick Allegretti and tight end John Bates remain sidelined for an additional week, keeping the interior line unsettled. The camp’s worst news came when left tackle Laremy Tunsil tore his pectoral muscle, likely ending his season. Running back Kaytron Allen stood out with strong runs, suggesting a larger role beyond short-yardage duties.
Rookie wideout Antonio Williams displayed quickness that could make him a threat both on the outside and in the slot, according to GM Adam Peters. Edge rusher K'Lavon Chaisson impressed on both pass rush and run defense, while Julian Good-Jones took on more center responsibilities as the team readies for a joint practice with the Miami Dolphins.
