Commanders head coach Dan Quinn has indicated that there is a competitive battle for the No. 2 and No. 3 wide receiver spots on the team. Following a recent preseason game, Quinn mentioned that the team might utilize a rotation involving Jahan Dotson, Dyami Brown, and Olamide Zaccheaus to fill these roles.

In his preseason debut, Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels showcased his potential by completing two of three passes for 45 yards and scoring a touchdown in a 20-17 loss to the New York Jets. His standout moment came with a 42-yard completion to Dyami Brown after checking to a go-ball play, demonstrating his awareness and decision-making skills. Daniels also impressed with a three-yard touchdown run, leaving teammates and coaches optimistic about his future.

Curtis Samuel is viewed as a game-time decision for Sunday's game against the Eagles due to a foot injury.
