Commanders' Dan Quinn makes a big change

The Washington Commanders suffered a 17-13 defeat to the Detroit Lions during their second preseason game on Saturday. Head coach Dan Quinn and Washington fans were not overly concerned about the result, acknowledging it's the preseason. However, the game highlighted a significant issue on the Commanders' first drive: quarterback Jayden Daniels and wide receivers Terry McLaurin and Stefon Diggs collectively gained only one yard, with three plays.

Daniels struggled early, missing a block, taking a sack on his second play, and completing an incomplete pass on the third. After the game, quarterback Jayden Daniels expressed understanding, while head coach Dan Quinn praised guard Sam Cosmi, noting Cosmi's strong performance. The center position, particularly with Nick Allegretti out of practice, is a major concern for Quinn.

In response, the Commanders opted to have a practice instead of their usual walkthrough on Monday, signaling a busy week ahead with a joint scrimmage against the Ravens on Wednesday and the final preseason game on Friday.
