The Washington Commanders finished the regular season with one of the NFL's better offensive lines. It was a surprise considering the questions surrounding the tackle position ahead of the position. However, center Tyler Biadasz proved to be one of the Commanders' most important players.
Biadasz signed a three-year contract with Washington after four years in Dallas. He stabilized the center position, which had been a revolving door over the past few years. And when Biadasz was out of the lineup, his absence was evident.
Biadasz missed the Week 15 win at New Orleans, and the offensive line struggled. The Commanders still won, but it wasn't easy. In the second half of the Week 17 win over the Atlanta Falcons, Baidasz injured his ankle. He didn't play in the regular-season finale at Dallas, quarterback Jayden Daniels was sacked four times in the first half, and Washington could not run the ball.
While the Commanders would win, the focus immediately turned to Wild Card Weekend and their matchup with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. On Monday, head coach Dan Quinn was optimistic that Biadasz would be available against the Bucs.
Washington returned to practice on Wednesday, and Biadasz was listed as limited. So, are there any concerns about Biadasz's availability for Sunday?
Biadasz also spoke to reporters after practice and sounded like someone who expects to play.
We'll continue to monitor Biadasz's status, but, barring a setback, it would be shocking not to see him in the starting lineup vs. the Bucs.
