Training camp officially kicks off today for the Commanders. Today marks the beginning of seven months of continuous, non-stop football. While Head Coach Ron Rivera would not subscribe to the idea that 2022 is a “playoff or bust” season, he stated that his team expects to win games. So, for the Commanders, today marks the beginning of a critical juncture in the Rivera era. Rivera will get an idea of what his players and coaches are capable of heading into the season; understanding what collectively will work and what wouldn't work.
Training camp is all about competing and fighting for a roster spot or climbing up the depth chart for most players.
