Commanders deliver best Sam Cosmi injury update yet (with one major caveat)

Dan Quinn caused a stir during his media availability before the first training camp practice. The head coach revealed that offensive lineman Sam Cosmi's participation in Week 1 against the New York Giants was on the table, which startled the Washington Commanders fan base in the best possible way.
