Week 2 Player Grades: Defense and Special Teams Commanders
The Washington Commanders' special teams have been a cause for concern, with kicker Joey Slye missing two of his six attempts this season. However, punter Tress Way has excelled as a holder and punter. The team considered replacing long snapper Camaron Cheeseman but ultimately gave him another chance. Veteran Jamison Crowder has been brought in as the punt returner, providing a reliable option. Antonio Gibson has had limited opportunities as a kick returner, indicating a decline in the importance of kickoff returns.
