What it is

The Washington Commanders are a professional NFL team based in Washington, D.C. They’re part of the league’s NFC East division.

Two key storylines:

  1. Running back Brian Robinson Jr.’s future is uncertain—trade discussions are intensifying, and he missed the preseason game, reinforcing speculation.
  2. In their latest preseason game versus the Bengals, the Commanders’ ground game shone with players like Chris Rodriguez Jr. and rookie Bill Croskey-Merritt making big plays, especially with Robinson out.
