The Washington Commanders likely are to be without starting right guard Sam Cosmi for the rest of the playoffs.
Cosmi suffered a knee injury in Washington’s NFC divisional-round win over the top-seeded Detroit Lions on Saturday night. NFL Network reported he will undergo an MRI on Sunday, with the injury described as “potentially serious.”
The injury occurred about five minutes into the second quarter when Detroit defender Za’Darius Smith inadvertently hit the back of Cosmi’s legs, with Cosmi’s right leg pinned under Smith’s body. Cosmi hobbled off the field with trainers.
Cosmi was replaced by veteran backup Trent Scott, who is playing with his fourth team in seven NFL seasons.
Cosmi, 25, was selected by Washington in the second round (51st overall) of the 2021 NFL Draft. He has played in 57 regular-season games (49 starts) for Washington, starting all 17 games and playing 100 percent of the team’s snaps each of the past two seasons.
The Commanders will meet the winner of Sunday’s contest between the Philadelphia Eagles and Los Angeles Rams for the NFC championship next weekend.
