The Washington Commanders began their Week 17 game with the Dallas Cowboys minus their two best offensive linemen. Left tackle Laremy Tunsil and right guard Sam Cosmi were both out. Before the first half was over, they lost their next best lineman when center Tyler Biadasz went down with knee and ankle problems.
In a sense, the Commanders are equipped to deal with this type of problem. All three replacements were starters for most of last season. Brandon Coleman took over at left tackle. Nick Allegretti started at guard in place of Cosmi, then slid over to center after Biadasz left the game.
