With a young quarterback, a strong front-office and coaching team, and emerging talent across positions, Washington is positioned for long-term growth if its key pieces develop as expected.

Washington Commanders head coach Dan Quinn met with the media for the first time since it was revealed the team had made running back Brian Robinson Jr. available via trade. Quinn didn't get into the details of Robinson's situation, other than to say, "News like that’s always not easy."

Daniels danced out of the pocket and scrambled for a 14-yard touchdown to cap his preseason performance against the Bengals after just four plays.

The Commanders' first-string offense played one series, starting with a Samuel run and ending with a Daniels rushing touchdown.

At the urging of veteran linebacker Bobby Wagner, Daniels dug deep into his own game over the offseason. Now he's putting it to use.

Jayden Daniels gave Washington Commanders fans a scare on one play during the team's preseason game on Monday night, and the star quarterback had a very simple explanation for the decision.

In the only passing play on the four-play, 74-yard drive, the Commanders quarterback scrambled for a 14-yard touchdown. It was enough for coach Dan Quinn, who likely held his breath as Bengals safety Jordan Battle briefly looked like he was going to have a chance for a hard hit on Daniels.

In the Commanders' second preseason game, we also learned the safety corps is deep and John Bates is a blocking weapon.
