• 6 takeaways from Commanders' coordinators David Blough, Daronte Jones (usatoday.com) — Washington Commanders fans just got a closer look at new coordinators David Blough and Daronte Jones, who outlined how they’ll reshape the offense and defense in D.C. They detailed plans for quarterback Jayden Daniels, linebacker Frankie Luvu, and running back Jacory Croskey-Merritt, stressing teaching-focused schemes tailored to Washington’s current roster rather than copying other systems.
