Overview
- Head coach Dan Quinn said the Commanders would never shut the door on re-signing free agent linebacker Bobby Wagner.
- Washington signed Leo Chenal in free agency and identified Jordan Magee as a candidate to play either middle or outside linebacker.
- Magee took first-team reps at middle linebacker in practice when Wagner rested a knee, and Quinn praised his quickness and preparation.
- Wagner, 35, started all 34 regular-season games over the past two years in Washington and became the third NFL player to reach 2,000 career tackles last season.
- The team struck a similar tone with tight end Zach Ertz, though it added Chig Okonkwo to a room that already includes John Bates and Ben Sinnott.
