The Washington Commanders are bringing back a familiar face on their offensive line.

Scott has spent the past two seasons with Washington after joining the team on a two-year deal in 2023. He later signed a one-year extension last offseason and has appeared in 35 games during his time with the Commanders while making six starts.
Veteran depth returns to Washington
Scott’s role in Washington has largely centered on providing depth along the offensive line.
The veteran played a key role during the 2024 postseason when he stepped in for injured lineman Sam Cosmi, seeing significant snaps in a crucial stretch of games.
However, his opportunities declined during the 2025 season.
After the Commanders added star left tackle Laremy Tunsil and rookie right tackle Josh Conerly Jr., Scott slid further down the depth chart. He ultimately appeared in eight games and logged 82 offensive snaps.
Journey around the NFL
Scott entered the league as an undrafted player and spent the early portion of his career moving between multiple organizations.
He previously had stints with the Los Angeles Chargers, Carolina Panthers and Pittsburgh Steelers. His most significant early playing time came in 2019 when he started a career-high nine games for the Chargers.
Offensive line questions remain
While Scott returns to the roster, Washington still faces uncertainty along its offensive front heading into the 2026 season.
The Commanders recently released center Tyler Biadasz, while guard Chris Paul remains unsigned.
Tunsil, Conerly and Cosmi are expected to anchor the line moving forward, but the remaining spots could be open for competition. Scott may find himself battling for playing time with players such as Nick Allegretti as Washington continues shaping its offensive line for the upcoming season.
