Washington Commanders Secure Preseason Victory Against Miami Dolphins

The Washington Commanders began their 2026 preseason with a 20-7 win against the Miami Dolphins on Friday night, showcasing several players who made notable contributions.

Robert Henry Jr., an undrafted rookie from UTSA, was a standout performer, rushing for 75 yards on 12 carries and scoring a touchdown. He also demonstrated versatility by participating in kick and punt returns. Kaytron Allen contributed significantly with 85 yards on 23 carries and a touchdown, while Antonio Hamilton Sr. made his presence felt on defense with four tackles and a tackle for loss.

Quarterback Sam Hartman showed potential despite some inaccuracies, particularly during an interception, but he effectively managed a 2-minute drill that resulted in a score. Receiver Lane led the team with three catches for 31 yards, indicating promise for the receiving corps. However, players like McCaffrey and Newton struggled, with McCaffrey failing to record any catches and Newton being outperformed. Overall, the game provided insights into the team’s roster dynamics as they prepare for the upcoming season.
