After weeks of training camp and three preseason games, the Commanders have whittled their roster down to 53 players. There were many players who didn\u2019t see reps during practice or games who were likely to end up as final cuts. But a handful of players entered Friday\u2019s preseason finale in tight position battles.<\/p>

This wasn\u2019t as much of a surprise as it was a well-known secret. The Commanders opened training camp with plans for Nick Allegretti to move into the starting center role, but those hopes were dashed early when Allegretti went down with an injury. Good-Jones took a majority of the reps in Allegretti\u2019s absence, and it didn\u2019t go well. On the first offensive possession of the Lions game, he missed a block that led to a pressure on Jayden Daniels. Rookie Matt Gulbin replaced him soon after, a sign of things to come.<\/p>\n
