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

Roullier was injured at the end of Washington’s Week 2 loss to the Lions.

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.

Ron Rivera has no concerns about new center Nick Martin

Nick Martin is Washington’s third center already in 2022.

The Washington Commanders will start their third center of the season on Sunday against the Cowboys in four games. Starting center Chase Roullier was injured at the end of Washington’s Week 2 loss to the Detroit Lions, and backup Wes Schweitzer is out Sunday with a concussion.

Roullier’s injury led Washington to look for a veteran on the free-agent market, and it led them to 29-year-old Nick Martin. A former second-round pick out of Notre Dame in 2016, Martin spent his first five NFL seasons with the Houston Texans, starting 62 games.

He signed with the Las Vegas Raiders in 2021, appearing in all 17 games, but did not start. Martin signed with the New Orleans Saints in July but was released during final cuts.

With Martin scheduled to make his first start since 2020, Washington head coach Ron Rivera is confident in the veteran lineman.

“Smart football player,” Rivera said of Martin. “He’s done a nice job of picking up what we do. He’s had over 60 starts in this league, so there is no concern there. He understands the game. He is very athletic. Great hand placement, and like I said, he’s picked up what we do very quickly.”

Martin’s first start is against a good Dallas defensive front, led by DeMarcus Lawrence and Micah Parsons.

“More so than anything else, just really getting the calls out and playing what they see,” Rivera said when asked about the challenge of facing the Cowboys’ front.

The Commanders hope Martin proves to be the guy for the remainder of the season with Roullier presumably sidelined. Schweitzer is best suited to play guard, where he could slide over and replace Trai Turner once he’s cleared to return.
