Five Matchups to Watch in Joint Practices With Commanders
Nate Wiggins and Marlon Humphrey will be tasked with covering a pair of recent 1,000-yard wideouts, while the Ravens' defense will look to stymie a healthy Jayden Daniels.

CB Nate Wiggins vs. WR Terry McLaurin: Like last week, Wiggins will face a team's longtime No. 1 wideout in joint practices. This week, it's McLaurin, who's crossed 1,000 receiving yards in five of his six mostly-healthy seasons. Wiggins did a good job against the Minnesota Vikings' receivers in two joint practices last week and will look to roll his momentum into the regular season.

CB Marlon Humphrey vs. WR Stefon Diggs: Throughout the offseason, there was buzz around the Ravens potentially signing Diggs, who played high school and college ball in Maryland. Instead, the four-time Pro Bowler took his talents down I-95 and will face the Ravens on Wednesday. Like Wiggins, Humphrey also played well in joint practices against the Vikings and will look to replicate his success against the Commanders.

Ravens Defense vs. QB Jayden Daniels: Daniels, who suffered a gruesome season-ending elbow injury last December, got his first game action since the injury this past Saturday against the Detroit Lions, tallying three snaps and one incomplete pass. He'll face a Ravens defense that played well in joint practices against the Vikings outside of two-minute situations. While the Ravens defense faced Kyler Murray and J.J. McCarthy last week, Daniels is a step up in competition.

WR Ja'Kobi Lane vs. Commanders CBs: Lane is 6-foot-4. Two of Washington's top healthy cornerbacks, Mike Sainristil and Amik Robertson, are 5-foot-10 and 5-foot-9, respectively. The 6-foot-2 Rasul Douglas is Washington's only healthy projected starting or backup cornerback listed above six feet tall. While Sainristil and Robertson play bigger than their size, Lane could have some favorable one-on-one matchups in man coverage.

RB Derrick Henry vs. LB Sonny Styles: The No. 7 overall pick in this year's NFL Draft will face a daunting task in trying to stop Henry if he reaches the second level. Henry had a few open running lanes against the Vikings last week, and Henry took advantage of the open space for chunk gains.
