It's official. The Washington Commanders have released their first depth chart of the 2025 season. Well, it's not really official, as it's unofficial, but it's straight from the team.

Here's a look at the depth chart:

What stands out from the first depth chart? Here are seven quick takeaways from Washington's first depth chart for 2025.

Sam Cosmi is listed on the first depth chart

Don't read too much into this. Head coach Dan Quinn addressed Cosmi's status on Monday, saying that while a Week 1 return is off the table, it's not necessarily the goal. The Commanders want a healthy Cosmi and to look out for his best long-term interests. If Cosmi is ready, he will be No. 1 on the depth chart. In the meantime, the Commanders are fortunate to have Nick Allegretti, who started every game at left guard last season.

K.J. Osborn listed as top punt returner

Rookie Jaylin Lane is expected to start here in Week 1. So, it's no surprise that the veteran Osborn holds the spot for now. Lane must still earn the position. Osborn is not exactly an experienced returner, as he has returned 11 career punts for 50 yards. He last returned a punt during a game in 2021.

McLaurin, Brown and Samuel starting WRs

Terry McLaurin has yet to practice since returning to training camp, but that's not really a big deal. Noah Brown has dealt with an injury since camp started, while Deebo Samuel has been outstanding throughout the summer. The Commanders want to continue to see young players, like Luke McCaffrey and Jaylin Lane, emerge. They are behind Samuel in the slot, although can play inside or outside.

Foster Sarell ahead of Trent Scott

Yes, they are listed at two different positions, but Sarell being Laremy Tunsil's primary backup on the first depth chart could be a sign that Sarell is ahead of Scott. Almost everyone has Scott making the team again, but Sarell is an intriguing player. He has terrific size and offers guard and tackle flexibility. Whoever doesn't win the right tackle job, Andrew Wylie or Josh Conerly Jr., is still making the roster and will be the third tackle. Washington will keep four and Sarell could be ahead of Scott.

Trey Amos listed as starting corner

No surprise here. The Commanders have Jonathan Jones in case Amos wasn't ready to start Week 1. That's not the case. He's had an electric training camp and the cornerback position went from a massive liability at this time last year, to one of the team's current strengths. Washington has five players it loves (Marshon Lattimore, Mike Sainristil, Amos, Jones and Noah Igbinoghene) and an undrafted rookie (Car'Lin Vigers) who has impressed, too.

Jacory Croskey-Merritt and Austin Ekeler are both RB2

What should we make of this? They love "Bill." Brian Robinson Jr. was always going to start, and Ekeler is the league's best pass-catching back. They have defined roles. However, Croskey-Merritt has continued to be one of Washington's best surprises this summer. It will be interesting to watch him during the preseason and if the Commanders keep four backs. Regardless of whether they keep three or four, Bill is safe.

Josh Johnson over Sam Hartman as QB3

Josh Johnson being ahead of Sam Hartman isn't really a surprise. Johnson has been around and is the most traveled quarterback in NFL history. Coaches like him, and he can handle the offense if he needs to play. Considering Washington's style of offense with Jayden Daniels and Marcus Mariota as the top two quarterbacks, Johnson would make sense if the Commanders keep three quarterbacks. Hartman needs a strong preseason to earn a spot, but still appears ticketed for the practice squad.
