While Commanders face questions at center, coach Dan Quinn expresses confidence in the position
Quinn said extra practice will help Washington assess Julian Good-Jones and rookie Matt Gulbin, with Nick Allegretti still sidelined by a calf injury.
On Monday, Washington Commanders head coach Dan Quinn added an extra practice session to evaluate center options following the team's preseason loss in Detroit.
Expected starter Nick Allegretti remains sidelined with a calf injury, while the team released veteran Tyler Biadasz in February, creating the roster gap at center.
Julian Good-Jones, the primary replacement, struggled against Detroit with missed blocks and penalties, while rookie Matt Gulbin is now receiving an extended look at center.
Wednesday's joint practice in Baltimore serves as a critical evaluation opportunity against an unfamiliar defensive front, as Quinn noted the team still needs to "figure out" the position.
With Week 1 approaching, general manager Adam Peters may need to seek outside help for the center position as roster cuts begin next week.
