Moves on the offensive line
Speaking of injuries, several players on the offensive line are dealing with issues that either could or will keep them out of Sunday’s game. Tyler Biadasz, who left last week’s game, suffered ankle and knee injuries. Biadasz will not require surgery at this time, Quinn said, but the veteran center will likely be unavailable.
Things are murkier with left tackle Laremy Tunsil, who is dealing with an oblique injury. Tunsil can move straight ahead, but turning and torquing is difficult for him, so much so that Quinn cast doubt on him playing this weekend if his condition remains the same. The Commanders will have more answers on Tunsil’s health later in the week.
Though not ideal, the Commanders do have an answer for how to replace Biadasz and Tunsil. Brandon Coleman has stepped up in Tunsil’s absence and played well in the role he had last season. As for Biadasz, the Commanders put in former starting guard Nick Allegretti, who also has experience playing center.
The offensive line has been a strength for the Commanders all season, thanks to the investments they made in the offseason to bolster the position. Quinn has confidence that if they need to pull from the group’s depth that the offense will be able to function against a talented Eagles defense.

The…scenario for the highest possible draft pick, which is highly unlikely, is that the Commanders lose, and the Browns, New York Giants, New York Jets, and Arizona Cardinals all win. The Commanders would move up a spot for every win by any of those teams, and the absolute ceiling is the No. 2 overall pick.
The likeliest outcome for the Commanders is finishing with the No. 6 or No. 7 pick, and they will have numerous decisions to make.
the Commanders only have six picks in the draft, and trading back would be ideal if they’re offered a large enough haul, but that might not be possible.
There are only a few quarterbacks worth taking in the first round, and you probably need a top-five pick for one of them.

Biadasz (ankle/knee) is unlikely to be available for the Commanders’ regular-season finale against the Eagles on Sunday, Ben Standig of Big 100 Washington D.C. reports. Biadasz suffered ankle and knee injuries during the Commanders’ 30-23 loss to the Cowboys on Christmas Day. The injuries aren’t severe enough to require surgery, but it puts the sixth-year pro on the doubtful side of playing Week 18. Nick Allegretti would likely draw the start at center against Philadelphia if Biadasz is inactive.
