Commanders quietly secure hidden depth at fragile roster position
"Sam Cosmi is making good progress from a torn ACL suffered in Washington's memorable divisional road playoff triumph against the Detroit Lions. The stud right guard is making good progress and hitting all his markers, according to head coach Dan Quinn. Even so, keeping him on the physically unable to perform list means the second-round pick out of Texas will miss the first four games, if not more."
"The Commanders probably won't see the best of Cosmi until the business end of the season. It's about treading water until then, with either Nick Allegretti or Andrew Wylie set to fill the void over the opening stages of the campaign. Washington will have contingency plans in place for every eventuality. Peters quietly picked up another option this week, with Darrian Dalcourt's arrival to the practice squad going completely under the radar."
"Dalcourt spent last season on the Baltimore Ravens practice squad after going undrafted out of Alabama. He started his career on the edge before switching to the interior with great success. He's also spent time at the center position, where the Commanders don't have a legitimate backup behind Tyler Biadasz right now. There isn't much chance of Dalcourt unseating Biadasz. He doesn't have any NFL experience and is a little undersized compared to most offensive linemen, but it does prove that Peters is eager to keep urgency high."
Washington invested heavily in its offensive line to support quarterback Jayden Daniels, prioritizing trench upgrades during Adam Peters' second recruitment period. Sam Cosmi is progressing from a torn ACL and meeting recovery markers, but remains on the physically unable to perform list and will miss at least the first four games. Nick Allegretti or Andrew Wylie are expected to fill the early vacancy. Peters added Darrian Dalcourt to the practice squad for depth; Dalcourt has practice-squad experience with Baltimore, positional versatility including center, and provides contingency behind Tyler Biadasz despite limited NFL experience.
