Dan Quinn speaks to the media before today’s practice
Dan Quinn got in front of the mic before the Washington Commanders returned to practice after a day off. Brandon Coleman won’t practice today and they will evaluate his leg injury before they travel to New England. He left the field on Saturday, but there won’t be any updates until Wednesday. Quinn was also asked about Terry McLaurin getting off the PUP list(ankle), and he said he would need to be ramped up like any other player coming off an injury. Sam Cosmi is recovering from an ACL injury, and Quinn still isn’t ruling out a Week 1 return, but continues to say there is a lot more that needs to be learned and done before he’s cleared. Cosmi has been hitting all the markers as he recovers from the January injury.

Terry McLaurin’s PUP/injury status:
Dan Quinn said there is no timetable for Terry McLaurin to be activated off PUP (ankle). That’s independent of the contract talks.
— Ben Standig (@BenStandig) August 4, 2025
Quinn, asked how much time McLaurin would need to get ready, said the 1st step will be getting him back on field testing ankle (deceleration cuts). will follow process. “We’ve all seen through the years someone hustles back and they got banged up and didn’t follow the process.”

Johnny Newton:
“What a difference a year makes,” DQ says when it comes to Johnny Newton. “To see him fully doing all the things, that’s been exciting to me.”

Bobby Wagner:
Quinn said Bobby Wagner is very disciplined, very structured in his process. “There’s not an off switch either him.”

Sam Cosmi’s ACL recovery:
Quinn said it’s still too early to call in terms of Cosmi’s availability for Week 1, but he is “busting his ass and doing a lot of field work.” The team likes his progress so far
— Zach Selby (@ZachSelbyWC) August 4, 2025
Dan Quinn said having G Sam Cosmi (ACL) back in time for Week 1 remains on the table but certainly not a guarantee. Quinn still doesn’t want to speculate on a timetable for him. Said Cosmi is working diligently to improve his leg strength and continues to hit all of his…

Quinn said Sam Cosmi’s availability for the opener “still on the table” but a LOT more to learn. Seems more about not ruling him out yet. Still would be a very fast return; this group has not rushed players back.
“Pleased where he’s at,” Quinn said. “He’s hitting all the marks.”— John Keim (@john_keim) August 4, 2025
