The Washington Commanders hosted the Miami Dolphins for the first game of their preseason. Washington got the home victory in front of some fired up fans at Northwest Stadium. The Commanders only have one more home game before the end of next month, and Quinn said it was good to get out there in front of them tonight. Second-string QB Marcus Mariota started the game, but exited the game after apparently hurting his knee. Quinn didn’t have any updates on his condition, but said he would know more when

he talks to the media again on Sunday.

The first preseason game means a lot of rookies were playing their first games in the NFL. Sonny Styles and Antonio Williams were the Commanders top two picks this year, both made plays tonight. Styles showed the good technique and speed he’s been showing in camp. Quinn also pointed out rookie RBs Kaytron Allen and Robert Henry Jr. stepping up tonight to score their first touchdowns.
