Quinn, Daniels Explain One-Drive Preseason Plan vs Lions

Washington Commanders lost 17-13 to the Detroit Lions in the second preseason game as Dan Quinn explained Jayden Daniels would get only one drive, with the focus on Week 1 in Philadelphia. Daniels said he plays when he’s up, while the team works through a still-settling offensive line and center position, with Nick Allegretti’s injury complicating plans. Julian Good-Jones struggled in the look with Daniels, while Sam Cosmi and Brandon Coleman drew praise as Washington navigates injuries ahead of the regular season.

Commanders Camp: New Coordinators and a Sharper Edge Under Quinn

Albert Breer recaps Commanders training camp, where Dan Quinn is pushing a tougher, more game-like approach with new coordinators David Blough (offense) and Daronte Jones (defense). Jayden Daniels is adjusting to a bigger role and more presnap responsibility, aided by a deep receiver room and a reshaped offensive line without Laremy Tunsil. The defense is designed to be multi‑vealed and versatile, with Javon Kinlaw, Odafe Oweh, K’Lavon Chaisson, and rookie Sonny Styles leading the way as Washington builds its identity for 2026.

Sonny Styles Stands Out as Commanders Open Rookie Minicamp

Day one of the Washington Commanders’ rookie minicamp in Ashburn featured linebacker Sonny Styles making a standout impression with his size and ball pursuit, as coach Dan Quinn praised his versatility to play multiple roles. Antonio Williams showcased his fit in David Blough’s system, and Kaytron Allen impressed with vision during drills. The practice was more loaded with team and seven-on-seven periods than in past rookie camps, highlighted by an early interception from Carlin Vigers. Leadership conversations and potential future joint practices also loomed, and Styles is currently wearing No. 52.

Commanders bank on Daronte Jones to energize a stagnant defense

The Washington Commanders tapped Daronte Jones as their new defensive coordinator after failing to lure Brian Flores, a choice Vikings writer Luke Norris says leverages Jones’s track record with Minnesota’s secondary and Flores’s trust in him. It’s a high‑risk, high‑reward move for a defense in need of a full revamp, with success hinging on personnel decisions and GM input. Jones’s background alongside Flores, Zimmer, and others could bring more aggression, pressure, and takeaways, but the job also signals potential further changes in 2027 if the plan falters.

Commanders pivot to unproven play-caller: Daronte Jones named new DC

The Washington Commanders stunned expectations by hiring Daronte Jones as defensive coordinator, replacing Joe Whitt Jr. Jones, formerly Minnesota Vikings defensive backs coach, has limited NFL play-calling experience, and comes from a background tied to Brian Flores, Mike Zimmer, and Vance Joseph. Head coach Dan Quinn aims to inject new ideas on a defense that had grown stale, and the hire shifts responsibility to GM Adam Peters to assemble the right personnel as Washington embarks on a bold, potentially make-or-break season.

An ESPN-sourced insider claims Dan Quinn overhauled the Commanders’ staff after a turbulent second season, parting with coordinators Joe Whitt Jr. and Kliff Kingsbury to force cohesion and a rapid turnaround in 2026. League observers say Quinn may not get a third head-coaching chance if Washington falters, heightening the push to maximize QB Jayden Daniels’ rookie contract and avoid another wasted year.
