The Washington Commanders wrapped up their three-day mandatory minicamp Thursday and are one OTA away from being finished for a while.
The Commanders have one final OTA practice Tuesday before taking a six-week break for training camp.
The week started with the news of defensive end Chase Young’s return to the team. Young, Montez Sweat and Charles Leno Jr. skipped Washington’s voluntary OTAs the previous two weeks. All three players were present for earlier portions of the offseason program in April.
It was another week in the development of quarterback Sam Howell. Howell had his moments — positive and negative — and has done enough to enter training camp as QB1, according to head coach Ron Rivera.
It’s difficult to call players winners and losers during a three-day minicamp with no hitting. However, we’ll name five players who left the minicamp trending in a positive direction.
