Brandon Coleman, an offensive lineman for the Washington Commanders, is training this summer to be ready for center duties amid concerns about Nick Allegretti's calf injury. Allegretti is expected to miss about a week of practice, leaving the team with limited experience at the position. Julian Good-Jones and rookie Matt Gulbin have taken snaps in his absence but both have minimal NFL experience. Head coach Dan Quinn is also having other linemen, including Coleman, take snaps at center to ensure readiness. Coleman previously played various positions on the offensive line and is seen as versatile enough to fill multiple roles if needed.
- •Nick Allegretti out for about a week with a calf injury.
- •Coleman has experience playing multiple offensive line positions.
- •Julian Good-Jones and Matt Gulbin are the main center options.
- •Coleman previously started 12 games in his rookie season.
