Stanford announces it's hired #Commanders QB coach Tavita Pritchard as its next head coach. He'll leave after Sunday night's game vs. Denver.
No word yet, but would assume David Blough will step into Pritchard's spot -- at least for the rest of this year, if not permanently.

#Commanders S Will Harris and LS Tyler Ott both officially listed as questionable for Sunday night -- though both were full in practice today.
No injury designations for Treylon Burks, Jaylin Lane and Frankie Luvu, among others who had been limited in practice this week.

#Commanders going for a throwback vibe again Sunday night vs. the Broncos.
They'll be wearing Super Bowl era unis and have Doug Williams, Charles Mann and Dexter Manley as honorary captains -- a nod to Washington's thrashing of Denver Super Bowl XXII.

In his first year as #Commanders GM, Adam Peters could do no wrong. With the team struggling in Year 2, he now has to show he's capable of navigating adversity and turning things around.

Adam Peters could do no wrong. Now the GM can show how he handles adversity.
The Commanders general manager’s previous stops — including eight years in the Denver Broncos’ front office — could help him as he faces a new challenge.

Kliff Kingsbury agreed that he still doesn't really know what this WR group looks like together. Just been so many different guys out at different points, going back to training camp.
"I know it looks a lot better at practice, when they're [all] out there," he said.

Happy Thanksgiving from Kliff Kingsbury and a sparse media crew.
Asked about the Broncos' pass rush, Kingsbury said "it's been a long week" trying to prepare for the challenge.
"It's historically on pace to be one of the best ever" in terms of sack numbers, he noted.

“I feel really good,” Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin said Wednesday. “[I will] just continue to talk with the training staff, see what their plan is for the game. But I plan to play as much as I can — and as much as they’ll allow me to.”

Unsurprisingly, Terry McLaurin, Noah Brown and Jayden Daniels were all limited in practice for the #Commanders today. The key will be when and how quickly each of them ramps up.
Will Harris, meanwhile, was a full participant and appears a near-lock to return Sunday night.

Column | The Commanders need Jayden Daniels to be the answer again, not a question
Once he’s healthy, why play the second-year quarterback in a lost season? Because Washington needs to continue to build its future.

Jayden Daniels will get reps in practice this week, Dan Quinn said. But Marcus Mariota is still in line to start until Daniels gets cleared for contact.
"We would not put [Daniels] out there if he's not able to fully express who he is as a player," Quinn said.

Speaking to reporters at Harvest Feast, #Commanders QB Jayden Daniels said he's taking his rehab "day by day and week by week" but has already resumed throwing.
