Ja'Corey Brooks is emerging as a standout in the Washington Commanders' training camp amid Terry McLaurin's contract holdout. His performance has drawn attention, but maintaining momentum during joint practices and preseason against tougher opponents will be critical. Brooks' current success is promising, yet it will not secure him a roster spot unless he continues to perform well. The upcoming challenges against the New England Patriots and Baltimore Ravens will be pivotal for his chances of making the 53-man roster.
[Ja'Corey] Brooks is a long way from earning a spot on the 53-man roster, but he certainly helped his cause during the first two days of camp. Brooks isn't getting too excited about his start to camp, which is smart, because there are several more tests for him to take on. He'll have to maintain his production in the preseason as well as joint practices with the New England Patriots and Baltimore Ravens. Still, he should have his coaches' attention after what he did earlier in the week.
Flashing promise going up against fellow teammates is one thing. Doing it against legitimate opposition is something else entirely. That's the test awaiting Brooks in the not-too-distant future. He's off to a good start, but that will count for nothing if he cannot build on this newly acquired momentum.
