The Washington Commanders are reevaluating their center position as the team prepares for its season opener against the Philadelphia Eagles on September 10, 2026. Starter Nick Allegretti has struggled with calf injuries, while Julian Good-Jones has not proven to be a viable option. The Commanders may consider rookie Mat Gulbin and veteran Trey Hill for center duties while potentially releasing Good-Jones. The Commanders also have depth at receiver, which could allow for a trade to bolster the center position.
