Cosmi has been downgraded to out for Monday's game against the Bears.
Cosmi will miss a second straight game since having had his 21-day practice window opened on Oct. 1. Once healthy, Cosmi is expected to reclaim his starting spot at right guard and provide a boost for Washington's offensive line, but for the time being he remains on the reserve/PUP list.

Rotowire
Cosmi (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Chargers.
Cosmi's 21-day practice window to return from the Commanders' reserve/PUP list opened Wednesday.

Cosmi will have to wait until Week 6 against the Bears on Monday, Oct. 13 for the next opportunity to make his 2025 regular-season debut.

Commanders' Sam Cosmi: Coach not closing door on Week 1
Rotowire
Head coach Dan Quinn said Monday that a Week 1 return is "still on the table" for Cosmi (knee), John Keim of ESPN.com reports.
Quinn added that Cosmi has hit all the benchmarks thus far in the guard's recovery process from a torn ACL suffered in the NFC divisional round in January. While Cosmi being ready for the start of the regular season hasn't been ruled out as a possibility, that would constitute a much faster than usual return from such an injury, so it's more likely that Cosmi will need additional time to recover. Cosmi is currently on the active/PUP list.

Commanders' Sam Cosmi: Out with torn ACL
Rotowire
Commanders coach Dan Quinn said Sunday that Cosmi will miss the remainder of the playoffs after he sustained a torn ACL during Saturday's divisional-round win against the Lions, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.
Cosmi was rolled up on and bent back awkwardly during the first half Saturday, and he underwent an MRI on Sunday morning. The standout guard will now likely undergo surgery to repair the torn ACL in his right knee, which could impact his availability for the start of the 2025 regular season. Expect backup Trent Scott to start at right guard during next Sunday's NFC Championship Game against the winner of the divisional-round matchup versus the Eagles and the Rams.

Commanders' Sam Cosmi: Set for MRI
Rotowire
Cosmi will undergo an MRI on Sunday and is expected to miss at least one game after exiting with a right knee injury during Saturday's 45-31 win over the Lions, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Cosmi suffered what appeared to be a significant injury when he got his leg rolled up on during the second quarter. Rapoport adds that the 25-year-old offensive lineman will likely be sidelined for an extended period, effectively knocking him out for next Sunday's NFC Championship Game and the Super Bowl on Sunday, Feb. 9, should the Commanders advance. As a result, backup Trent Scott will likely start at right guard for the remainder of Washington's playoff run.
