“I thought the tight end room was solid, although I'll admit that the tight ends were not used much in the passing game during the offensive periods that I watched (team red zone, third-down emphasis and two-minute). Here's what I will say: Chig Okonkwo and Lawrence Cager stood out to me, just as they have throughout camp.” Appreciate you @ZachSelbyWC

Cager grabbed two touchdowns from Marcus Mariota during Day 10 training camp, including a seam route on the first play of the two-minute period that left him open for an uncontested score. He and Colson Yankoff are forcing the Commanders to decide whether they want a fourth tight end and, if so, which one. Cager's receiving ability and red-zone production in camp position him as a depth option in a competitive tight end room.

Might have had the catch of the day near the end of practice making a leaping grab in the middle of the field with Daniels under center. Making a strong case for the Commanders to keep four tight ends on the roster.

Tight end Lawrence Cager absolutely looks the part of an NFL tight end; with Bates sidelined, Cager used his extra reps to demonstrate his pass-catching ability; whether he can beat out Yankoff for the TE4 spot remains one of the more interesting camp battles.
