3. Moves on the offensive line.
Speaking of injuries, several players on the offensive line are dealing with issues that either could or will keep them out of Sunday’s game. Tyler Biadasz, who left last week’s game, suffered ankle and knee injuries. Biadasz will not require surgery at this time, Quinn said, but the veteran center will likely be unavailable.
Things are murkier with left tackle Laremy Tunsil, who is dealing with an oblique injury. Tunsil can move straight ahead, but turning and torquing is difficult for him, so much so that Quinn cast doubt on him playing this weekend if his condition remains the same. The Commanders will have more answers on Tunsil’s health later in the week.
Though not ideal, the Commanders do have an answer for how to replace Biadasz and Tunsil. Brandon Coleman has stepped up in Tunsil’s absence and played well in the role he had last season. As for Biadasz, the Commanders put in former starting guard Nick Allegretti, who also has experience playing center.
The offensive line has been a strength for the Commanders all season, thanks to the investments they made in the offseason to bolster the position. Quinn has confidence that if they need to pull from the group’s depth that the offense will be able to function against a talented Eagles defense.
