The action is going to be physical, competitive, and everything in between when the Washington Commanders come together for training camp. And the stakes are higher than they've been in decades.
No longer is this big market franchise considered among the bottom-feeders. The Commanders are not languishing in obscurity or being perceived in a bad light around the league. They are among the Super Bowl favorites and an organization on the up under a much-improved leadership structure.
