Ron Rivera Presser: The season opener is always important; the greatest expectation is to win

The Washington Commanders had a break over the Labor Day weekend, but are getting back to practice and game mode as they prepare to host the Arizona Cardinals for the season opener on Sunday. Head Coach Ron Rivera spoke to the media today, but again declined to provide injury updates on players like Chase Young and Terry McLaurin. Teams that play on Sundays are required to give injury reports starting on Wednesday, and that’s when he said we will get some information.

New Arizona Cardinals HC Jonathan Gannon is going into Week 1 with newly acquired QB Joshua Dobbs and rookie Clayton Tune as his options, and he isn’t naming either of them the starter yet.
