The Washington Commanders released an updated unofficial depth chart ahead of their 2023 season opener against the Arizona Cardinals.

The Commanders will open the season at home for the fourth consecutive season under head coach Ron Rivera, and the contest against the NFC West opponent is scheduled for 1 p.m.

There are few, if any real surprises in the updated version of the unofficial depth chart. Saahdiq Charles has taken the starting left guard spot, while rookie Emmanuel Forbes Jr. is in the starting lineup at cornerback opposite Kendall Fuller.

Dax Milne is listed as the team's starting punt returner with Antonio Gibson as the starting kickoff returner.
