The Washington Commanders completed Day 13 of training camp Wednesday, and next up is a trip to Cleveland to face the Browns in the preseason opener.
After a wild Friday that saw multiple scuffles, things have calmed down a bit since head coach Ron Rivera gave the Commanders Saturday off.
Washington has practiced four consecutive days in preparation for the opener, and there has been encouraging progress on offense, according to offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy.
What happened on Wednesday?
Here are the top highlights/videos from some of those in attendance from Day 13 of training camp in Ashburn.

That Sam Howell to Dyami Brown connection is real. Howell’s elevation to starting quarterback has been a positive for Brown, who is entering his third NFL season.

Nick Gates was signed to be the starting center. He’ll be the center in Week 1, but don’t be surprised if, at some point, Stromberg makes his case. The hype around him is real. Washington didn’t want to pair a rookie center with what is essentially a rookie QB.
Minority owner Mitchell Rales was in attendance

Doug was the first black quarterback in @NFL history to start and win a Super Bowl.
Gov’s caught a lot of passes but this one from a Super Bowl MVP is definitely my favorite. pic.twitter.com/2lcEHO4MCj
