Newly acquired defender Brandon McDonald arrived in Washington early Tuesday morning fresh off a plane from San Francisco. Showing little jetlag, McDonald made it to training in order to get to know his new teammates on and off the field.
"I got off the plane this morning around 2:00 a.m.," McDonald said after training. "It was good to get the flight out of the way and come in and kick around with the guys - to get started in being part of the team."
