The Commanders have signed offensive lineman Lucas Patrick, enhancing their interior line depth as they prepare for their Week 2 matchup in Dallas. Patrick, who played in six games for the Bengals last season and has extensive experience across guard and center positions, was released by the Giants after dealing with a knee injury during training camp. His addition follows concerns over the team's interior line stability, particularly following Nick Allegretti's recent calf strain.
