Washington Commanders Injuries

Wise missed nearly the entire 2025 campaign due to a quadriceps injury and is now dealing with an undisclosed issue to open up training camp. While there's currently no timetable for the 31-year-old's return, he will be eligible to participate in practice once healthy but will be limited to side work until then.

The pectoral injury Way was tending to was never believed to be serious, and he will now be able to get back into action during camp. He's favored to fend off fellow veteran Matt Haack to keep Washington's punting job in 2026.

The Commanders hosted Cowart for a workout Monday, and the team liked what they saw out of the 2019 fifth-rounder, who spent most of last season on the Jets' injured reserve due to an ankle injury. Cowart last saw regular-season action in 2024 with the Bears, when he logged 26 tackles (14 solo), including 2.5 sacks, across 15 games.

Scharping tore his ACL while with Pittsburgh last September and ended the year on IR. He appears to be back to health and will get a chance to compete for a depth role along Washington's offensive line.

Allegretti is viewed as a contender for the starting center role for the upcoming season, so the timing of the issue isn't ideal. However, the injury isn't considered long term, and Allegretti could still log plenty of action during training camp and in preseason games. Keim notes that Brandon Coleman, who is competing for a starting role at left guard, took some center snaps after practice Saturday, which suggests that he could emerge as an option at center, especially if Allegretti's injury lingers longer than expected.

Bates hurt his hamstring during practice Thursday and is going to miss a significant portion of training camp as a result. The third-year tight end is slated to work behind Chig Okonkwo this season, but Bates' injury could open the door for Ben Sinnott to make a push for the No. 2 role at the position.
