Will Wes Schweitzer return to the Commanders?

When the Commanders signed Wes Schweitzer to a three-year contract in 2020, many figured he’d primarily be a reserve for the Commanders. However, due to injuries, Schweitzer played in all 16 games for Washington in 2020, 13 a starter. Schweitzer filled in for the oft-injured Brandon Scherff at right guard when he wasn’t the full-time left guard. Schweitzer always held his own and was considered an asset to Washington’s offensive line.

In 2021, Schweitzer moved to a reserve role when the Commanders signed Ereck Flowers to start at left guard. Again, Schweitzer filled in for Scherff and also played some at center. He did miss six games with injuries.

In 2022, Schweitzer competed with Turner in training camp at right guard. Turner eventually took over the job, and Schweitzer filled in for Chase Roullier at center. Sadly, Schweitzer was injured in Week 3 and missed several weeks. When Tyler Larsen returned from injury, he started at center until he, too, was lost for the season with a leg injury.

Schweitzer has missed some time over the last two seasons, but nothing where you can call him injury prone. He’s an excellent depth piece that can start multiple games for you, preferably at guard. Schweitzer, who has played seven NFL seasons, is 29. He should generate interest from around the league.
