- 10:43 PMYahoo Sports — While Commanders face questions at center, coach Dan Quinn expresses confidence in the position
"After being blunt about where the Washington Commanders stand at center after their preseason loss at Detroit over the weekend, coach Dan Quinn expressed more confidence Monday about the position that has been hampered by injuries and inconsistent play. Asked if he feels the Commanders have enough talent on the roster at center, Quinn said, "We do, but we still have work to do there.” Center first became a hole when Washington released veteran Tyler Biadasz in February, choosing to move forward with natural guard Nick Allegretti, who started in the middle of the offensive line in the final two games last season.
