Washington Commanders Updated Depth Chart After Final Roster Cuts
When the Washington Commanders released their initial 53-man roster, the team answered who survived the cuts, but didn't explain exactly how those players would be used on the field in Week 1. Injuries, along with Dorance Armstrong’s Week 1 suspension, have created a situation where the lineup the team envisioned may struggle to get on the field to begin the season. With all the changes since their last "unofficial" depth chart, an update based on the final roster, training-camp usage, preseason evidence, and what Dan Quinn and Adam Peters have said since the cuts is now needed. The question is no longer who made the roster, but who starts, who rotates, and which players have specific situational roles.

Washington spent much of the offseason rebuilding a pass rush in desperate need of consistent production, only to enter the final stretch before the season with questions surrounding the biggest additions. Odafe Oweh and K’Lavon Chaisson are still working through rehabilitation from calf and knee injuries, respectively, and were unable to practice again on Tuesday. Add in the fact that Dorance Armstrong is suspended for Week 1's game against Philadelphia, and you start to see the issue facing the Commanders.

Kevin opened today's show with lots of Commanders talk, including the latest on Odafe Oweh and what Dan Quinn said about Stefon Diggs. Kevin discussed some specifics from a story in The Athletic about Jayden Daniels and Washington's offense going to a "huddle-up approach in 2026. There were a few interesting nuggets that had nothing to do with the "huddle-up" approach that he pulled and reacted to. ESPN's Stanford Steve jumped on to preview the College Football season and share his thoughts on what will be a big season for Mike Locksley's Terps.
Commanders remain confident in their offensive line
Most of them only wanted to ask about one position group, though, and it's the same one the fan base has had since Laremy Tunsil was ruled out for the foreseeable future with a torn triceps: what's going on with the offensive line, and what is the team doing to fix it?
"We had no idea that was coming," Peters joked when asked about the offensive line on the first question.
The group's structure was a talking point throughout camp. Nick Allegretti -- the team's top option at center -- missed most of August with a calf strain. That, along with Tunsil's injury, forced the Commanders to shuffle around the players available to them. Brandon Coleman was moved to tackle, and Julian Good-Jones spent most of the time at center. When Sam Cosmi got sick during the joint practice with the Baltimore Ravens, Good-Jones moved to guard, and draft pick Matt Gulbin played center.
Despite all the movement up front and some formidable opponents appearing early on the schedule, the coaches and offensive linemen remain confident in their ability.
"To have this combination of guys going that way, yeah, [there's] a lot of confidence," Quinn said.

Offensive coordinator David Blough believes in Burks. The wideout was sold on his vision for the offense and his potential role within it before signing a one-year extension worth up to $4 million with incentives. He's always had the physical tools to be more impactful, but putting it all together has been difficult.
