It was already known that Commanders guard Sam Cosmi’s knee injury would keep him sidelined for the rest of the playoffs. He’ll probably be out even longer than that.
The team announced Sunday that Cosmi suffered an ACL tear.
A second-round pick, Cosmi, 25, became a full-time, full-season starter in 2023. He is under contract through 2027, with a $15.5 million salary in 2025 guaranteed in case of injury .
Cosmi’s surgery and rehabilitation will likely take the entire offseason and several weeks before the start of the 2025 regular season.
Trent Scott replaced Cosmi on Saturday night against the Lions. Scott will likely start next Sunday, as the Commanders face the Eagles for a spot in Super Bowl LXIX.
