Chase Roullier to undergo knee surgery, most likely ending his season

It’s only been four weeks, but the season couldn’t have begun any worse for the Washington Commanders’ offensive line. After a Week 1 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars, the Commanders have lost three games in a row.

In Week 2, Washington went into halftime down 22-0 before coming back. The Commanders stormed back, but it was too little too late as the Lions held on for a 36-27 win. Unfortunately, Washington’s most significant loss that day didn’t come in the standings but in center Chase Roullier.

At the end of the game, Roullier suffered a knee injury, and the team feared Roullier was lost for the season. However, he would get a second opinion before the severity was determined.

According to Jeremy Fowler of ESPN, Roullier is expected to undergo knee surgery this week, and the fear is he’s out for the remainder of the season.

Not much is known, but Fowler leaving the window open on a return this season makes it possible Roullier’s injury isn’t as serious as initially feared. Head coach Ron Rivera will likely address Roullier’s injury this week.

This is tough news for Roullier, who broke his leg in Week 8 last season. He discussed this offseason the difficulty of the rehabilitation process.

Roullier’s replacement, Wes Schweitzer, went on injured reserve with a concussion, leading the Commanders to sign veteran Nick Martin.

Center Tyler Larsen is expected to be activated from the PUP list Wednesday, giving him three weeks to show the team he’s ready to play. Right tackle Sam Cosmi injured his hand in Sunday’s Week 4 loss to Dallas and could miss multiple weeks.
