Tress Way starts camp on the sideline, pectoral injury keeping Washington's punter out
A Pro Bowl punter missing training camp reps is not the kind of thing that makes the highlight reel. It matters anyway.
Way has been one of the more quietly excellent players on the Washington Commanders for years — the kind of guy who only gets attention when something goes wrong with field position, and rarely does. Now he's sidelined before camp kicks off, dealing with a pectoral injury that the team's general manager, Adam Peters, says shouldn't keep him out long.
To cover the reps while Way recovers, Washington signed punter Matt Haack to handle things at camp. It's a holding pattern, not a crisis — but punting is one of those jobs where real practice time matters, and Way won't be getting any of it to start.
The team is calling this short-term. Way has earned the benefit of the doubt.
