The Washington Commanders got competitive a week into their first training camp under Dan Quinn. The first-year coach said there were position battles at running back, wide receiver, tight end, defensive line, linebacker, cornerback, safety and kicker.

Perhaps underrated but still important is the newfound competition at kicker. Washington claimed Riley Patterson off waivers from the Jaguars on Wednesday to givefor sexual assault. Patterson, 24, has spent time with seven other NFL teams already, kicking in the regular season for Detroit, Cleveland and Jacksonville.
“Just kind of like the theme of everything, we’re just not going to back off from competing in every spot. We’ve been pleased with what we’ve seen so far with ,” Quinn said. “But as part of this competition, that’s also part of the job and what goes into it.” Patterson and Ahmed will get many opportunities to audition for the role before the Commanders’ Week 1 matchup at the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sept. 8.
“These guys together will both kick on the same day, there won’t be any alternation as we go through it, so we’ll begin that process soon,” Quinn said. “We’re looking forward to seeing how that plays out.”
