Matt Gulbin may not have fallen immediately asleep Wednesday night.
Gulbin, a rookie out of Michigan State, was drafted by the Commanders in the sixth round, 209th overall, in last April's NFL Draft. Gulbin was selected to bring along and provide depth behind starting center Nick Allegretti.
However, on the very first day of the Commanders' 2026 training camp, Allegretti strained a calf. It was a bad enough strain that Allegretti missed nearly three weeks of training camp practices before returning August 18. Wednesday, Allegretti again had to leave practice early after getting injured.
"I think really, just taking it day-by-day, trying to get better every day," is simply how Gulbin replied to Denton Day when asked Wednesday what he is learning through his first NFL training camp. (I am) taking advantage of everything we do, whether it is practice, walkthroughs or meetings, being in tune and locked in with that."
When asked about the offensive line room, Gulbin quickly responded, "I feel like we have a really good group. Coach Stape, Coach Toub and Coach Stolt do a really good job fostering a good brotherhood. They are down-to-earth, salt-of-the-earth guys. Everybody takes care of each other, which I'm super-grateful for." Gulbin was referring to Darnell Stapleton (Offensive Line Coach), Shane Toub (Assistant Offensive Line Coach) and Brian Stoldt (Offensive Quality Control Coach).
