The Washington Commanders enjoyed a long weekend before returning to Ashburn on Monday in preparation for Week 1 of the 2026 NFL season. That extra time off brought some good news for the Commanders ahead of Sunday's opener against the Philadelphia Eagles.
"Everybody participated today," Quinn said when asked about linebacker Odafe Oweh. "It was a walkthrough practice, so I'll get you an update on Wednesday, but it's a good sign that everybody's trending in the right direction. Full group out there today getting work in."
Oweh and fellow edge rusher K'Lavon Chaisson were dealing with calf and knee injuries, respectively, late in training camp. Both missed some time, but Chaisson returned to practice last week. Some were concerned about whether Oweh would be ready for Week 1. Quinn's opening message on Monday would seem to indicate that the Commanders believe Oweh is trending toward playing against the Eagles.
Washington spent a ton of resources on improving the defense this offseason. New defensive coordinator Daronte Jones was the first move that the Commanders made. The biggest free-agent move Washington made was signing the 27-year-old Oweh. A first-round pick of the Ravens in the 2021 NFL Draft, Baltimore traded him to the Chargers last October after he got off to a slow start. After the trade, Oweh was outstanding, finishing with 7.5 sacks in 12 games for Los Angeles. Oweh then sacked Patriots quarterback three times in January's AFC Wild Card game.
Most of Washington's projected defense will be on the field next Sunday. Cornerback Trey Amos was placed on injured reserve last week, but everyone else is on track to play. Obviously, the Commanders will also be without star left tackle Laremy Tunsil (torn triceps) and defensive lineman Johnny Newton (torn pec), who were also placed on IR.

ASHBURN, Va. (AP) — After ranking last in the NFL on defense last season, the Washington Commanders revamped that side of the ball with drastic changes to the roster and the coaching staff.
Two weeks into training camp, the unit looks completely different from a year ago. New defensive coordinator Daronte Jones is a big reason why.
Jones has spent his first six months on the job not only installing a new system but also overhauling the team's entire defensive identity.
"I can't tell you too much of the secret sauce," pass rusher Odafe Oweh said. "Daronte has a great defense, but it's a complicated defense."
Jones, 47, was hired from Minnesota after excelling under Brian Flores, who oversaw a defense known for its complex disguises and loaded fronts. Plenty of that has carried over to Washington, where Jones has deployed fronts with three, four and five linemen and mixed and matched along the way.

Breaking news: Laremy Tunsil suffered a torn triceps on Saturday.
Tunsil was in a one-on-one drill with edge rusher Odafe Oweh. A video revealed Tunsil caught bending over in immediate pain.
The severity of the injury, of course, means Tunsil will require surgery and miss significant time. The Commanders' first three games are against the Eagles and Cowboys on the road, and then, in their first home game, they have to face the defending Super Bowl Champions, the Seattle Seahawks. All without their top player in 2025.
Brandon Coleman likely becomes the starting left tackle. Coleman is not a stranger to the position, having been drafted in the third round in 2024. Coleman then played in 16 of the 17 games of the 2024 season, starting 12 at left tackle. In 2025, Coleman started the first two games at left guard, but was suddenly replaced by Chris Paul. Coleman not only lost his job, but was strangely inactive for five games.
When Tunsil went down with a hamstring injury in 2025, Coleman then stepped in and started three consecutive games for Tunsil. After missing those three weeks, Tunsil returned, starting the remainder of the season at left tackle. Tunsil signed an extension with the Commanders this offseason for an average of $30 million per season, making him the highest-paid offensive lineman in NFL history.

Commanders left tackle suffered a torn triceps during Saturday morning's training camp practices and will miss a large portion of the season, NFL Network's Mike Garafolo and Steve Wyche reported later that evening.
This is a major blow for the entire team, one that will have a significant impact on the 2026 campaign.
Tunsil suffered the injury during a 1-on-1 rep with edge rusher Odafe Oweh. He dealt with the bull rush and the pair locked arms, but Tunsil awkwardly disengaged and immediately clutched his arm and elbow.
He was immediately taken to the medical tent and went with trainers inside the Commanders training complex immediately after for further evaluation.
Garafolo, who was on-site at Commanders camp, reported that he would need further testing to inform the extent of the injury. The results came back with bad news.

Commanders star left tackle Laramey Tunsil suffered an apparent injury during Saturday morning's training camp practice.
The nature or extent of the ailment is unknown at this time. Per the Washington Post, and additional on-site reporters, Tunsil was impacted during a 1-on-1 rep with Washington edge rusher Odafe Oweh.
Tunsil walked into the on-field medical tent with trainers and eventually headed inside the team's training complex, presumably for further evaluation.
It's important to note that Garafolo's tweet does not constitute sourced reporting about the nature of Tunsil's injury. He's on-site in Ashburn, VA, on Saturday and saw the incident play out in-person.
On-site reporters also said that Andrew Wylie stepped in for Tunsil at left tackle.

Washington Commanders' newly signed linebacker Odafe Oweh entered the NFL in 2021. He attended Penn State University for three seasons before entering the draft, but before committing to the Nittany Lions, Oweh had only been playing football for a couple of years. Previously, his sport was basketball, but when he got kicked off the basketball team, he turned to football.
Oweh was asked about his history with football after the Commanders' training camp practice concluded on Tuesday.
"It's the craziest story," Oweh replies. "I had to switch my career last second. I got kicked off the basketball team, and I had to make a decision. Am I going to keep trying to be LeBron James, or am I going to pivot and find my Plan B? And I did, gladly. The second school that I ended up going to, Blair Academy, they actually made me play two sports. So I wouldn't have even had to play basketball if it wasn't that. That was the only school that was trying to admit me and everything, so it was kind of God shifting things in my place.
"I started playing when I was 16. I redid my junior year, and after that, the rest is history."
Oweh goes on to talk about how college scouts started to recruit him after one season. Rutgers was one of the first to reach out, but after that, he heard from places like Alabama, Ohio State, Penn State, and Florida, among others. He talked about how he never thought schools of that caliber would ever take a chance on a guy who'd only been playing for one year, yet they were.

Each season, Tuli Tuipulotu is making his name known as a top pass rusher in the NFL. The Chargers' faith in him is growing. They moved on from former top draft pick Joey Bosa and let Odafe Oweh walk. Tuli Tuipulotu is becoming the cornerstone of the Chargers' defense, and he is getting more respect as a result.
In a recent article, Bobby Kownack breaks down Tuli Tuipulotu making the NFL top 100 players list. Here is what he had to say about Tuipulotu:
"Incremental improvements through his first three years led to a certified breakout for Tuipulotu last season. The 23-year-old officially emerged from the shadow of his pass-rushing mentor Khalil Mack and lapped the rest of L.A's edge defenders, as well, leading the team in sacks for a second straight campaign to make his first Pro Bowl. His 13 sacks doubled his career total, and his pressure percentage jumped from 10.4 across 2023-24 to 15.6. Now, the question is whether he has yet another leap in store for 2026."
Tuli Tuipulotu continues to develop his game, and this past season, he put it all together, leading to a Pro Bowl nod for him. When teams face the Chargers, #45 is the main guy they are preparing for all week long. Getting on the NFL's top 100 players list is just the beginning for Tuli. This upcoming season should bring even more dominance for the former Trojan.

As a follow-up to the top 10 list of players we put out over the last few weeks, I wanted to give you my top 13 players on our squad, and my reasoning behind why I ranked each player where I did. These rankings did factor into the overall rankings you saw over the last few weeks, but Scott Bair promised you a Tyler’s Take with my thoughts – so here it is!
Editor’s note: We’ll count down the top 10 Commanders players on the 2026 roster regardless of position sporadically over the next few weeks. Before we get to it, here’s how we arrived at the ranking: Our Scott Bair, Scott Jennings and Mark Tyler compiled a top 13 – no ranking was identical — with points ****** igned to each ranking slot from all three lists. We used these point values to form a consensus top 10 ranking. We’ll write a story on each member of the top 10 and another on others receiving votes at the end. Plus, Mark will probably have a Tyler’s Take with his thoughts. You’ll surely object to some of these rankings, though debate is kind of the point with lists like this. Today we focus on No. 1:
Our roster rankings: 10. Leo Chenal | 9. Chig Okonwko | 8. Nick Cross | 7. Sam Cosmi | 6. Sonny Styles | 5. Daron Payne | 4. Odafe Oweh | 3. Terry McLaurin | 2. Jayden Daniels | 1. Laremy Tunsil
13. P Tress Way: I know punters don’t get enough credit (and I’m guilty of this too), but Way is fantastic at what he does!
12. DL Javon Kinlaw: It may not have shown up on tape a lot last season, but Kinlaw was often double-teamed yet still held his own on a very poor front seven. I think he’ll show out in this new, attacking scheme.

Our Commanders roster rankings are now complete. The top 10 has been revealed over the past few weeks, starting with Leo Chenal at No. 10 and ending with Laremy Tunsil in the top spot.
The 10 talents you see below weren't the only ones receiving votes from the panel.
Our roster rankings: 10. Leo Chenal | 9. Chig Okonwko | 8. Nick Cross | 7. Sam Cosmi | 6. Sonny Styles | 5. Daron Payne | 4. Odafe Oweh | 3. Terry McLaurin | 2. Jayden Daniels
Several others were close to inclusion, and we thought they deserved a shout out and warranted some discussion about their value to the Commanders and whether they should've been ranked higher.
The Commanders punter received points from every panelist – we did a top 13 to account for some variance – and it's clear that respect for Tress Way is sky high. That's warranted for the three-time Pro Bowl selection, with his latest coming in 2025.

Adam Peters made a trade with the Houston Texans on May 15 last year, exchanging NFL draft compensation and made for left tackle Laremy Tunsil . It wasn't cheap, but nothing is while adding a player of Tunsil's caliber.
His long-term services were secured with the trade and a two-year, $60 million contract extension that will keep him in Washington through the 2028 season.
Tunsil has been a wall for Washington, a pillar of stability and leadership during his time in burgundy and gold.

Commanders Roundtable
Chaisson [is potentially] the most underrated defensive addition in 2026. The veteran pass rusher also turned down a chance at a longer deal and more security to sign with Washington, a team he believed was capable of making a postseason run. Yet for a defense that struggled to generate pressure, Chaisson is a big part of what Washington needs to do better in 2026 where he has a chance to capitalize if near-$100 million addition Odafe Oweh draws increased attention opposite of him. While Oweh adds a long-term piece, Chaisson has a chance to prove himself after a career season with the New England Patriots in 2025.
Chaisson played at least 66% of the Patriots' defensive snaps from weeks nine through 16, totaling a pair of sacks, four TFLs, one pass deflection and a pair of forced fumbles during that span. He also registered an impressive average of 2.87 seconds time to pressure where he thrived as a quick twitch edge rusher.
That's the role that Chaisson will look to thrive in with the Commanders, opting for the one-year deal in Washington with a chance to prove himself for a third consecutive season.

The Washington Commanders entered the offseason with plenty of holes to fill. Fortunately, they had plenty of money to spend and were among the top five teams in salary cap ****** e.
Injuries ruined Washington's 2025 season. One year after going 12-5 and reaching the NFC Championship Game, the Commanders tumbled to 5-12. Injuries decimated the roster last season, with quarterback Jayden Daniels and wide receiver Terry McLaurin among the most notable players who missed significant time.
However, Washington's offense wasn't its main problem last season. It was the defense. The defense wasn't very good in 2024, but the Commanders had a healthy Daniels and McLaurin leading an offense that scored almost 30 points per game. Sure, injuries impacted the defense, but age, a lack of overall talent and speed were bigger issues.
This offseason, GM Adam Peters planned on making the Commanders "younger and faster." That's exactly what he did, adding multiple defensive starters in free agency, with most being 27 or younger. Peters specifically focused on improving Washington's pass rush, giving Odafe Oweh a four-year, $100 million contract, in addition to signing K'Lavon Chaisson and Charles Omenihu. Peters also revamped the linebacker position, signing Leo Chenal to a three-year deal and using a first-round pick on Sonny Styles.
How significant were Washington's investments in its defense this offseason? According to Warren Sharp, the Commanders have the sixth-most expensive defense in 2026 at $165.8 million.
