The Washington Commanders celebrated a historic playoff win against the Detroit Lions, marking their first NFC championship appearance since their Super Bowl victory in 1991. However, the team will head into the crucial game against the Philadelphia Eagles without right guard Sam Cosmi, who has suffered a torn ACL. This injury occurred during a key moment in the game against the Lions, raising concerns about both his immediate and future availability. Veteran Trent Scott is expected to step in for Cosmi during the championship game.

Cosmi expressed his disappointment regarding the injury on Instagram, highlighting the joy of playing for the Commanders and the pride of the local community. The fourth-year player has been a mainstay on the offensive line, contributing significantly since being drafted in the second round of 2021. His absence is seen as a major loss for Washington as they aim for the championship.
