Brandon Coleman is set to take over as the starting left tackle for the Washington Commanders following Laremy Tunsil's injury. Tunsil, who suffered a torn triceps during practice, is likely to miss most or all of the season after undergoing surgery. Coleman previously started at left tackle during his rookie season and filled in for Tunsil in the last three games of the 2025 season. The Commanders may still consider signing a veteran, but for now, Coleman will be the primary option on the offensive line.
