By the way, we beat the Chargers. Bears are up next on Monday night.

Good article on Luke McCaffrey:

The next McCaffrey brother is ‘just a football player,’ and he’s starting to turn heads

Luke McCaffrey doesn't have the accomplishments of Christian or Ed, but he's starting to make a mark in Washington.

Noah Brown is on IR

Terry McLaurin is expected to practice this week, but Noah Brown lands on IR

The Commanders had good news and bad news to share about a pair of injured wide receivers on Wednesday.

Why oh why did we let Olamide Zaccheus go? He's leading the Bears in receptions.

Former Commander Charles Leno retired.

Former NFL offensive lineman Charles Leno Jr. announced his retirement on Tuesday. His announcement came two years to the day after his wife, Jen, miscarried their fourth daughter, Paitynn, at the exact time (2:46 p.m.). Leno learned of her miscarriage while he was in Atlanta for a Commanders game against the Falcons. He did not play.

“That day changed everything for me,” Leno wrote in an Instagram post. “It changed the way I see life, the way I carry myself and most of all, it changed what matters most to me.”

Fight

Fight

I still don't get the Riggins 20 something unleashing furies of blows against what appears to be a 60 year old dude. He waits until people are occupied and whales away with cheap shots. Need the whole story to see who else is at fault, but I hope Riggo boy never sees an NFL game again regardless of the reasons.

I think the older guy was holding down and pounding on another guy for awhile before the Riggins guy joined in .
Pretty sure the story is "drunk people"

 

[Brunell4MVP]

Of all the reasons I do not go to sports events, drunk and rude behavior is #1. And it's not close. It's far and away #1. It's not the parking, or prices, or effort required, or slow pace of games from commercial breaks.

I was at a VT game last year. Fight broke out in the line into the stadium from a 6'6" 280 pound hulk of a man deciding he was gonna do whatever he wanted and plowed through people to get ahead. Someone tried to stop him and hell ensued for a lot of people. Security ... nowhere to be seen for the 15 minutes it went on.

Last Wiz game I went to a dude puked all over the people in front of him. Then passed out. Security did nothing. Dude laid there and the vomit victims cleaned off and moved seats. Nothing from stadium personnel. Plus constant cursing. All it takes is a couple of loudmouths and staff don't seem to care.

Capitals and Nats games seem to be better. Caps fans are so into it they want to watch the game. Nats fans are likely bored and resting in the sun.

DC United games tend to get crazy, but it's a fun crazy. Usually smoke bombs and chants. Definitely some drunks but it rarely spills outside of their circle.

Vids like this make me happy to stay home. Maybe a team should try a sober day. They can still sell NA beers if they need something to mark up 800%. Bet lots of families would come.

WR Treylon Burks signed to practice squad.
I doubt he'll be any help at all.

"There is real uncertainty about whether either of these guys will be on the field on Sunday."
@TomPelissero on injury concerns for Commanders receivers Terry McLaurin and Deebo Samuel.

"Remember that year we didn't have any receivers?"

 

[fatness]

Jayden Daniels and the Commanders are running out of receivers due to rash of injuries

So now the Commanders wade into Week 7 facing the very real possibility of missing their three top receivers, which would leave them with:
• Luke McCaffrey, an emerging receiver and kick returner who started playing the position only three years ago;
• Jaylin Lane, a speedy rookie who also doubles as a returner;
• Chris Moore, a journeyman receiver who caught his first touchdown in three years last Sunday;
• And five practice-squad players: Robbie Chosen, the wideout formerly known as Robby Anderson, who has five catches over the last two years; Tay Martin; Ja’Corey Brooks; Jacoby Jones; and the newest addition, Treylon Burks, a 2022 first-round pick who underwent ACL surgery late last year and suffered a fractured collarbone in July.
