The practice started at 11:30 a.m. and finished shortly after 1:20 p.m. with the players wearing shells (shoulder pads and helmets).

Practice was at full speed with no tackling.

Much of the focus of the day was the the red zone and third down conversion offense.

Highlighting the day's practice were wide receiver Josh Stewart with two red zone touchdown receptions, tight end Evan Rodriguez with several catches, including a 20-plus yard pick up on a seam route and cornerbacks Zack Sanchez and Jordan Thomas with pass breakups in the end zone.

The practice officially opened the Commanders' fourth and final week of Training Camp. The abbreviated fourth week of Training Camp concludes with San Antonio setting its 52 man roster on Wednesday, Jan. 30.
