Second-year head coach Dan Quinn saw enough from his top-level stars in joint practice to keep them out of the firing line during the Washington Commanders' first preseason game against the New England Patriots.
Injuries are all part of the business at this time of year. The Commanders have been relatively clean on the health front this summer, although they have some slight issues with potential contributors such as offensive lineman Brandon Coleman, wide receiver Noah Brown, and linebacker Jordan Magee.
And strangely, Magee might be the player who benefited most from not seeing the field at Gillette Stadium.
