It's been a trial by fire for many Washington Commanders players this season. Dan Quinn and the coaching staff have navigated some turbulent times on the injury front, with several established stars either out for the year or missing games when a strong start was crucial.
The fact that Washington is 3-2 through five games is a testament to the improved depth and fierce resolve across the roster. This group is made of stern stuff under Quinn. And now that players are getting healthy again, fans are expecting them to kick on despite a tough-looking stretch of games upcoming before their bye week.
