"Another thing that stood out to fans is the Commanders' approach at right guard. Nick Allegretti is listed as the starter, but in his backup role, the chart reads "or Andrew Wylie." Obviously, neither Allegretti nor Wylie is Washington's starting right guard on a fully healthy roster. That would be Sam Cosmi, who tore his ACL during the Commanders' upset divisional round playoff win over the Detroit Lions."
"In the meantime, the Commanders have done some shuffling. Allegretti has moved over from left guard to the other side of the line. Brandon Coleman, who played left tackle as a rookie last year, takes over for him after the Commanders traded for Laremy Tunsil. Wylie, the team's right tackle in 2024, is also now listed as a guard after the emergence of first-round pick Josh Conerly Jr., where he'll compete with his former Kansas City Chiefs teammate for a starting role."
Washington opens the season at home against the New York Giants. The official Week 1 depth chart contains unexpected listings. Seventh-round rookie running back Jacory Croskey-Merritt is listed fourth despite offseason expectations that he would split lead-back duties with veteran Austin Ekeler after Brian Robinson Jr.'s trade to the San Francisco 49ers. Sam Cosmi remains sidelined after tearing his ACL, so Nick Allegretti is listed as the starting right guard with "or Andrew Wylie" noted as the backup. Allegretti shifted from left guard, Brandon Coleman moves into the left tackle spot, and Wylie is now listed as a guard amid competition with Josh Conerly Jr.
