Commanders coach Dan Quinn said Sunday that Cosmi will miss the remainder of the playoffs after he sustained a torn ACL during Saturday's divisional-round win against the Lions, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports. Cosmi was rolled up on and bent back awkwardly during the first half Saturday, and he underwent an MRI on Sunday morning. The standout guard will now likely undergo surgery to repair the torn ACL in his right knee, which could impact his availability for the start of the 2025 regular season. Expect backup Trent Scott to start at right guard during next Sunday's NFC Championship Game against the winner of the divisional-round matchup versus the Eagles and the Rams.

Commanders coach Dan Quinn said Sunday that Cosmi will miss the remainder of the playoffs after he sustained a torn ACL during Saturday's divisional-round win against the Lions, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports. Cosmi was rolled up on and bent back awkwardly during the first half Saturday, and he underwent an MRI on Sunday morning. The standout guard will now likely undergo surgery to repair the torn ACL in his right knee, which could impact his availability for the start of the 2025 regular season. Expect backup Trent Scott to start at right guard during next Sunday's NFC Championship Game against the winner of the divisional-round matchup versus the Eagles and the Rams.
Cosmi will undergo an MRI on Sunday and is expected to miss at least one game after exiting with a right knee injury during Saturday's 45-31 win over the Lions, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports. Cosmi suffered what appeared to be a significant injury when he got his leg rolled up on during the second quarter. Rapoport adds that the 25-year-old offensive lineman will likely be sidelined for an extended period, effectively knocking him out for next Sunday's NFC Championship Game and the Super Bowl on Sunday, Feb. 9, should the Commanders advance. As a result, backup Trent Scott will likely start at right guard for the remainder of Washinton's playoff run.
Cosmi (knee) has been ruled out of Saturday's divisional-round matchup against the Lions. Cosmi got rolled up on in the second quarter and was bent back awkwardly as a result. Trent Scott has taken over at right guard in his place.
Cosmi suffered a knee injury in Saturday's divisional-round game against the Lions and is questionable to return. Cosmi got rolled up on during Washington's touchdown run in the second quarter. He was pinned backward for a few seconds and then had to be helped off the field. Trent Scott took over at right guard in his place.
The Commanders signed Cosmi to a four-year, $74 million extension Wednesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. At $18.5 million annually, Cosmi becomes the fifth-highest paid guard in the NFL, with more than $45 million in guaranteed money. Cosmi appeared in all 17 of the Commanders' regular-season contests in 2023, giving up just one sack while making the switch from tackle to guard. He's expected to continue anchoring the right side of Washington's offensive line for years to come after his extension.
