Summary
Washington’s first padded camp workout Monday tilted to the defense, which repeatedly collapsed the pocket, stuffed runs and forced throwaways in red-zone and team drills.
Javon Kinlaw logged a would-be sack of Jayden Daniels, Sonny Styles added a tackle for no gain and a delayed-blitz sack, and Mikey Sainristil broke up two end-zone throws.
Daniels still flashed arm talent, dropping a touchdown to Terry McLaurin and later hitting Chig Okonkwo for a 25-yard score while Marcus Mariota also found Jacory Croskey-Merritt in the red zone.
Daronte Jones showed varied fronts, Frankie Luvu spent time at Mike linebacker and Odafe Oweh generated edge pressure, while the offense unveiled more 12-personnel, pre-snap motion and even a trick-play look.
Dan Quinn said Washington expects a clearer read Thursday on whether CB Amos and punter Tress Way can return, while linebacker Kain Medrano has already been removed from the PUP list.
