Stefon Diggs Gives Commanders Immediate Boost in Camp

Early practice chemistry with Jayden Daniels suggests Diggs can sharpen Washington’s passing attack as the team copes with Laremy Tunsil’s surgical absence.

Overview

  • The Commanders signed veteran receiver Stefon Diggs to a short, incentive-heavy one-year deal and he has already practiced with the team this week.
  • Coaches and teammates praised Diggs’ football IQ and route awareness after he made contested catches and stood out in a Wednesday joint practice with the Miami Dolphins.
  • Quarterback Jayden Daniels connected with Diggs repeatedly in drills, completing several key throws including a back‑corner touchdown that highlighted early chemistry.
  • Washington’s offensive line lost left tackle Laremy Tunsil to an injury that requires surgery, and that absence has hampered the run game and stretched interior depth in camp.
  • Diggs arrives with a long, productive résumé and veteran leadership that could help Jayden Daniels adapt to coordinator David Blough’s offense, but his late arrival means timing and snap counts remain to be determined.
