Ron Rivera Presser: Tress Way has lower back tightness; Jacoby Brissett gets first-team reps today

Ron Rivera talked to reporters after a quick and easy practice. The Washington Commanders 11th day of training camp was basically a walkthrough, which allowed some players nursing soft tissue injuries[Emmanuel Forbes(groin), Curtis Samuel(leg)] to participate in team drills. Tress Way is also dealing with some tightness in his lower back, which led the team to try out two punters, one left-footed like Way and a righty. They also tried out a long snapper, and a few more DBs. Rivera expects Way to be able to punt for Friday’s preseason opener against the Cleveland Browns.

Jacoby Brissett has been the #2 behind 2nd-year QB Sam Howell since he signed as a free agent in March.
