Is time running out for the Commanders at center?
The Commanders may need to move on from one player and look outside the organization for help.
The Commanders' center position is in dire need of improvement, according to recent reports. The team currently has only one veteran experience at center in Julian Good-Jones, who has only played one regular-season NFL game at age 29. The Commanders have already used him this season, and there is no indication that they will continue to do so.
Starting center Nick Allegretti is also injured, having strained his calf during the first day of training camp and struggling to recover. This has raised questions about whether Allegretti needs additional rest before the season opener against the Philadelphia Eagles. Veteran Mat Gulbin, a rookie out of Michigan State, has been given the opportunity to take center stage, alongside rookie Trey Hill, who was signed from the practice squad of the Green Bay Packers and has now been with the Commanders since August 2.
Both Gulbin and Hill have experience working with various teams, and could be the answer to the Commanders' center position woes.
