What happened: The anxiety follows Laremy Tunsil’s torn triceps and Washington’s move from Tyler Biadasz to Nick Allegretti at center. Allegretti missed nearly all of training camp with a calf injury, leaving sixth-round rookie Matt Gulbin as the primary backup.

Why it matters: Protection stability now hinges on Allegretti’s availability and D.J. Humphries’ ability to Washington starts the season with consecutive road games before its home opener.

What to watch: Watch Allegretti’s calf status and whether Washington adds another center before Week 1.
