A look at Maryland’s student section at kickoff. Students must scan the video board for the free tuition raffle at halftime, so it’ll be interesting to monitor how many more fill in before then, especially with this being a noon start.

No more players in suits at Terp Walk. First game under interim head coach Aazaar Abdul-Rahim.

Is this a sign of who this Wizards team is? Washington held Charlotte to just 79 points in a win Friday. Anthony Davis, Trae Young and AJ Dybantsa combined for 63 points, with the latter receiving "MVP" chants in his home debut. On the victory: washingtonpost.com/sports/20…

After a freak injury during a fast Friday practice, Daron Payne may be out for the year. He's set to be a free agent in 2027 and may have played his final snap with the franchise. It's just been that type of season for the #Commanders: washingtonpost.com/sports/20…

Excited to announce that I have taken a minor league hitting coach position with the Washington Nationals. I wanted to thank everyone @DrivelineBB for giving me an opportunity to grow in baseball. On to the next chapter.

#Commanders standout DT Daron Payne suffered a significant foot injury today in practice that will knock him out for the foreseeable future and likely land him IR, sources tell me and @MikeGarafolo. Payne will undergo more evaluations tomorrow. But another tough blow for Washington.

"Shit, not good enough." The #Commanders expected to have a ferocious defensive line that made them capable of shutting down opposing offenses any given week. That's yet to come to fruition through an entire contest. I dug into the reasons why: washingtonpost.com/sports/20…

As they’ve proved this summer, the Caps and Utah remain interesting teams to watch. They’re still looking to acquire talent, but I’m told neither have had recent Dylan Larkin discussions. Additionally in Washington, Ryan Leonard has not been involved in any trade talks.

Sending our congrats to Trotzy on being inducted into the @PredsNHL's Golden Hall. Ovi and Willy met up with Barry Trotz and Roman Josi pregame to exchange gifts for what's to be a momentous evening for both sides tonight. #ALLCAPS x #Preds
