The Washington Commanders kick off the 2023 preseason Friday with a trip to Cleveland to face the Browns.
Washington’s starters will play. How much? Head coach Ron Rivera wasn’t about to divulge that information this week, but we should assume that starting quarterback Sam Howell and the offense will play at least two series.
One offensive player who will not play is tight end Logan Thomas. The veteran tight end has dealt with a calf injury over the last week. While the injury isn’t believed to be serious, the Commanders aren’t taking any chances with their 32-year-old starter.
Washington has a new offense in 2023 with Eric Bieniemy in charge. What should we expect to see in the preseason opener?
We identify five Washington players to watch in Friday’s preseason opener.
