We continue with the not-really-all-that-official-countdown to the 2023 Washington Commanders regular season. There are exactly 96 days left until the Commanders kickoff against the Arizona Cardinals on September 10th.
Here are some notable things about Washington that contain 96 in some way.
The Washington Football Team finally got their first bit of good news on Saturday. Four defensive linemen were all taken off the Covid list, and will be eligible for their Week 15 game against the Philadelphia Eagles.
Washington’s two leading sack producers, Jonathan Allen (7 1/2) and Montez Sweat (4.0) were both green-lighted to return. That puts Washington in a considerably better competitive position. Before the latest roster changes, Washington was without six of it’s top seven defensive linemen.
