Commanders rookie Matt Gulbin could see increased role due to injury

Matt Gulbin, a sixth-round draft pick by the Commanders, may have a larger role in the upcoming season following injuries to starting center Nick Allegretti. Allegretti, who strained a calf at the start of training camp, had to leave practice early again on August 19, raising questions about his availability. Gulbin, who has been participating in training camp, expressed his commitment to improving daily and has noted the support from his coaches and teammates. With Gulbin potentially starting against the Eagles in Week 1, he is taking advantage of his situation to prepare for the season ahead.
