Commanders face decisions as Cosmi remains sidelined with concussion
Summary

The Washington Commanders start a reshuffled offensive line in Week 4 against the Indianapolis Colts due to Sam Cosmi's ongoing concussion issue. Lucas Patrick takes over at center after a strong performance last week against the Seahawks, raising questions about his role when Cosmi returns. General manager Adam Peters and head coach Dan Quinn must evaluate whether to keep Patrick at center or revert to Nick Allegretti. Patrick's health will also be a factor, as he has had previous injury concerns. The Commanders are looking for continuity on the offensive line moving forward.
