The Washington Commanders get their preseason underway with a matchup against the New England Patriots. Being just a preseason match, there is not much at stake, and both teams will look to give some much-needed reps to the backups and their rookies. <\/p>
Both teams have gotten a feel for one another after the joint practice sessions that have taken place earlier in the week. Keeping aside the infamous scrum that left Pats’ head coach Mike Vrabel with a bloody cheek, New England<\/a> has been the team to dominate on both sides of the ball, as per reports. <\/p> Dan Quinn’s team will be without key starters, most notably quarterback Jayden Daniels, who will not play, and Terry McLaurin, whose contract issues are still up in the air. As for the Patriots, second-year signal caller Drake Maye is expected to get some time under center. <\/p>
