Adam Peters affirms confidence in Commanders center depth before season opener

Washington Commanders general manager Adam Peters defended the team's current center roster during a public event held Thursday in Washington, D.C. Despite fan concerns regarding the position, Peters expressed full confidence in starter Nick Allegretti as the team prepares for their Week 1 matchup against Philadelphia. Allegretti returned to practice this week following a calf injury sustained at the start of training camp. The Commanders also intend to rely on sixth-round draft pick Matt Gulbin as the primary backup at the position. While the club explored other options throughout the offseason and released journeyman Julian Good-Jones during final roster cuts, Peters stated that the team feels well-positioned heading into the season. The team remains committed to its current depth chart despite external criticism over the lack of veteran additions at the position.
