Commanders head coach Dan Quinn spoke to reporters on Tuesday, but there were a few notable faces missing from the journalists in the room.
Quinn and the Commanders left a trio of empty seats open in the front row for Tuesday’s press conference in honor of the former sports reporters and beat writers for The Washington Post that were victims of the newspaper’s mass layoffs. Specifically, Quinn acknowledged the absence of Tashan Reed, Barry Svrluga and Tom Schad, all of whom were let go as part of the newspaper’s controversial decision to gut its sports section.
