Center Chase Roullier returns for Commanders vs. Chiefs

Chase Roullier returns to action.

The Washington Commanders get starting center Chase Roullier back for their second preseason game on Saturday vs. the Kansas City Chiefs.

Roullier, who broke his fibula in Week 8 last season vs. Denver, began training camp on the physically unable to perform (PUP) list but was activated shortly thereafter.

Roullier’s return has been gradual as he did not play in Washington’s first preseason game last week against the Carolina Panthers. Roullier discussed his rehab process earlier this summer.

Roullier will be back in the startling lineup at center against the Chiefs. Joining him for this game will be left tackle Cornelius Lucas (who recently returned to practice), left guard Saahdiq Charles, right guard Aaron Monteiro and right tackle Sam Cosmi. Only Roullier and Cosmi are projected starters for the Commanders in 2022.

Roullier will likely only see limited snaps in his return.

Washington’s top three guards, Andrew Norwell, Trai Turner, and Wes Schweitzer, are battling nagging injuries.
