Washington Commanders right guard Sam Cosmi is out for the remainder of the postseason due to a torn ACL sustained during the team's divisional-round victory over the Detroit Lions. Head Coach Dan Quinn confirmed the injury, noting that Cosmi will require surgery. The loss is significant for the Commanders, as Cosmi had been a starting player for every game this season, contributing greatly to the offensive line.

In his absence, veteran Trent Scott stepped in effectively in the recent 45-31 win against the Lions. The Commanders, now with a 14-5 record, are set to face the winner of the Philadelphia Eagles-Los Angeles Rams matchup in the NFC Championship Game.
