Training camp is in the books for the Commanders, and this one had a lot more plot than your typical July-into-August grind. Rookies reported July 24, veterans followed on July 28 with a conditioning test, and the pads came on for real July 29. Eleven practices were open to the public between August 1 and August 19, and honestly, fans got their money's worth. Let's start with the good news. Washington finally landed the veteran receiver it's been chasing all offseason, signing Stefon Diggs to a one-year deal worth up to $12 million ($7.15 million guaranteed). Diggs slots in opposite Terry McLaurin and immediately makes this receiver room look dangerous — the guy has nearly 950 career catches and over 11,500 yards, and he wasted no time getting acquainted with Jayden Daniels once he hit the practice field. If you're building around a young quarterback, that's exactly the kind of veteran presence you want in the building. Now the bad news, because there's always bad news with this team. Pro Bowl left tackle Laremy Tunsil tore his triceps during a one-on-one pass rush drill and is likely facing surgery — realistically a significant chunk of the season, if not all of it. For a team whose top offseason priority was protecting Daniels, losing your blindside anchor before a single preseason snap is about as brutal a way to start camp as there is. The position battle drama was everywhere else too. Kicker turned into one of the more entertaining subplots of camp, with veteran Jake Moody and undrafted rookie Drew Stevens trading blows for weeks before Stevens started pulling away and creating real separation. Up front, the interior o-line got messy fast — Nick Allegretti's absence opened the door for Chris Paul and Brandon Coleman to get extra center and guard reps, which is not exactly the stability you want with Tunsil now out too. At running back, Jacory Croskey-Merritt and free-agent addition Rachaad White look like the top of the depth chart, with Jerome Ford landing on injured reserve and Deone Allen using the extra opportunities to make a real push for a roster spot. On defense, new coordinator Daronte Jones is putting his stamp on things, and the secondary is shaping up to be one of the more competitive rooms on the roster — Mike Sainristil, Amik Robertson, and Trey Amos are expected to anchor things, but there's a real fight underneath them for depth reps in a division full of dangerous receivers. Add in Marcus Mariota missing much of camp with a knee sprain — which put extra eyes on the QB2/3 battle behind Daniels — and a joint practice with the Dolphins on August 12 to sharpen things up before preseason, and this was about as newsy a camp as Washington has had in years. Good energy, a marquee addition, a gut-punch injury, and a handful of real questions still to answer. That's training camp for you. Preseason kicks off next, and we'll see how much of this camp buzz translates to the field.
