Promoted to starting left tackle after Laremy Tunsil's injury. Third-year pro looked good on Monday, opening holes in the run game and fighting off Odafe Oweh and Javon Kinlaw. Made a conscious effort to change his training habits during the offseason with the goal of being more durable and improving on-field performance. Had some ups and downs during the joint practice but appears ready to take over the left tackle spot. Dan Quinn and David Blough have continually expressed faith in his abilities.PositiveRoleAug 12, 2026
Coleman, a rookie tight end, played every snap from Weeks 9–17 in 2025 (missing only 18 snaps in the regular-season finale), demonstrating significant role security and usage volume. He has adopted preventative injury maintenance this offseason—hiring a nutritionist, working with strength coach Dominic Studzinski (who trained Laremy Tunsil for over a decade), and spending several weeks training with Tunsil in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. Coleman acknowledged past training camp injuries (shoulder) could have been prevented with better rehab discipline. This proactive approach and established snap count from his rookie year position him as a reliable depth option with upside for continued playing time.PositiveRoleAug 12, 2026
Coleman has implemented a comprehensive preventative injury maintenance program in the offseason after missing time in his rookie training camp due to a shoulder injury and 18 snaps in the regular-season finale. He hired a nutritionist, worked with strength coach Dominic Studzinski (who has trained Laremy Tunsil for over a decade), and spent several weeks training with Tunsil in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. Coleman acknowledged past training camp injuries "fully could have been prevented if I would've just sacrificed a little more time in rehab and working on certain things." His proactive approach to recovery and body maintenance positions him to stay healthy and available for the tight end rotation in 2026.PositiveDepth ChartAug 11, 2026
Elevated to starting left tackle following Laremy Tunsil's torn triceps injury. Coleman has started 18 games at the position over his first two years in the league and has put in the work to take over; Quinn expressed confidence in his ability to handle the role.PositiveRoleAug 11, 2026
Coleman gets the first opportunity to be the Commanders left tackle with Tunsil's injury. On his first snap at LT, Jayden Daniels threw a dime to Dyami Brown for a long TD over Mike Sainristil, and he looked not bad in camp overall.NegativeDepth ChartAug 11, 2026
Coleman will get the first opportunity to be the Commanders left tackle following Laremy Tunsil's torn tricep injury; all eyes are on Coleman as he steps into the starting role.PositiveRoleAug 11, 2026
Coleman filled in for Tunsil a few times down the stretch last year and held up relatively well; he showed strong run-blocking ability in 2024 and has the athleticism to excel in the Commanders' expected outside zone scheme, using momentum to bulldoze defenders in space. His pass protection was inconsistent as a rookie but featured efficient hand-flash technique against elite pass rushers like Brian Burns and Trey Hendrickson. The transition back to tackle is 'like riding a bike' after his offseason mentoring with Tunsil in Alabama, where he trained under Tunsil's personal offensive line coach Mike Wahle and incorporated recovery and nutritional practices. He started the last three games at left tackle in 2024 and allowed just two pressures on 87 pass-blocking snaps.PositiveRoleAug 11, 2026

The source indicates that Brandon Coleman will get the first opportunity to be the Commanders left tackle following Laremy Tunsil's tricep injury. Coleman is stepping into a critical role with the offense described as 'still sharp' in camp despite the change at left tackle.PositiveRoleAug 11, 2026
Coleman filled in for Tunsil a few times down the stretch last year and held up relatively well; he showed strong run-blocking ability in 2024 and has the athleticism to excel in the Commanders' expected outside zone scheme, using momentum to bulldoze defenders in space. His pass protection was inconsistent as a rookie but flashed nice moves against elite pass rushers like Brian Burns and Trey Hendrickson with efficient hand flash technique. He started the last three games at left tackle and allowed just two pressures on 87 pass blocking snaps. Tunsil mentored him during offseason training in Alabama, teaching him habits and recovery modalities from one of the greatest tackles ever. Coleman said the transition back to tackle is "like riding a bike" and looked natural in Monday's practice, with coach Quinn saying "He's put in an excellent offseason." His day was highlighted by holding his own against Odafe Oweh, carrying him out of the play rather than allowing him to turn the corner.PositiveDepth ChartAug 9, 2026
Expected to move back to left tackle as the primary replacement for Tunsil. Coleman started 22 games at TCU on the left side and as a rookie with Washington had 12 starts at left tackle during the regular season plus all three playoff games. In 242 snaps at left tackle last year, he allowed 0 sacks, 0 QB hits, and 5 pressures (2.1% pressure rate), which was better than Tunsil's elite 3.1% rate, though the caveat is the gameplan changed when Coleman filled in. He is a solid run blocker who fits the outside zone system well, and when his hands fire in conjunction with his feet he can perform well in pass protection. His main area for improvement is consistency with hand placement and avoiding over-setting that allows defenders to cross his face.PositiveRoleAug 4, 2026
Left guard competing with Chris Paul for the starting position. Dan Quinn praised Coleman's technique, noting he has 'always been quick off the spot,' a valuable trait in the new zone-blocking scheme the offense will emphasize.NegativeDepth ChartAug 3, 2026
