By playing so many people, the Commanders defense got a strong taste of what the regular season could look like. Nobody played more than 50 percent of the team's defensive snaps, making it a balanced effort for Jack Del Rio's defense as it inches closer to the start of the season.

Linebacker Jamin Davis was tied with defensive backs Bobby McCain and William Jackson III in snaps, signaling a large role for the second-year player once the season begins.

The Commanders will now prepare for their final preseason contest against the Baltimore Ravens. Kickoff is scheduled for Saturday at 7 p.m.
