Overview
- The joint practice in Owings Mills on Wednesday produced repeated pressure on Washington’s offense, with reporters and insiders describing the offensive line as effectively “inoperable.”
- Washington entered the session missing key linemen after Laremy Tunsil’s torn triceps and continued absence of Nick Allegretti, and backups struggled to hold the pocket or create running lanes.
- Baltimore’s defense validated the evaluation by producing standout plays including a Kyle Hamilton interception and a 60-plus yard Devontez Walker touchdown that consistently beat Washington’s protection.
- Hours after the practice the Commanders signed veteran tackle D.J. Humphries to add depth at tackle, and Jayden Daniels said he will focus on controlling what he can while the team corrects protection issues.
- With roster cuts to 53 looming and a Sept. 13 opener in Philadelphia, the practice increases the likelihood Washington must add experienced interior or tackle help and forces faster front-office decisions after this latest evaluation.
