Commanders Open 2026 Training Camp With Staff Overhaul and Renewed Optimism
New coordinators, targeted signings, and key health updates aim to correct the team’s 2025 failures.
Overview
- The full roster reported to camp Tuesday, July 28, and head coach Dan Quinn and GM Adam Peters said the team feels energized and ready after an offseason reset.
- Washington signed veteran cornerback Rasul Douglas to add experience and depth, saying the move was not made to fix a deficiency in a cornerback group led by Mike Sainristil and Amik Robertson.
- Tight end Chig Okonkwo was added to expand the passing game and create more two-tight-end or multiple‑receiver looks because of his after‑catch ability and sturdy blocking.
- Nick Allegretti is the front‑runner at center and has been praised for his on-field intelligence and control of pre-snap responsibilities including the green dot communication role.
- Quarterback Jayden Daniels is reportedly healthy and engaged in the new offense, Trey Amos is rehabbing on the PUP list with expected return soon, and the front office remains open to veteran receiver upgrades while factoring players’ off‑field behavior into evaluations.
