Commanders begin training camp with surprise retirement news

The Washington Commanders officially announced the signing of veteran cornerback Rasul Douglas on Monday, one day before veterans are scheduled to report for training camp. Practice begins on Wednesday.

The Commanders agreed to terms with Douglas three weeks ago, but the team didn't officially announce the move. That changed on Monday. To make room for Douglas, Washington needed to make a corresponding move. It was a surprising move. The Commanders placed veteran linebacker Nick Bellore on the reserve/retired list.
