Brandon Coleman expected to take over as Commanders left tackle
Key Points:
- Washington Commanders' left tackle Laremy Tunsil suffered a torn triceps injury, likely requiring surgery, and is expected to miss most or all of the upcoming season.
- Tunsil recently signed a 2-year, $60 million contract extension, making him the highest-paid left tackle in the NFL.
- Brandon Coleman, who previously started 18 games at left tackle for Washington, is expected to replace Tunsil after filling in during the 2025 season.
- Coleman had been competing for the starting left guard position but will now move back to left tackle, while Andrew Wylie and other potential options remain secondary considerations.
- The Commanders may still explore free agent options or internal adjustments, but Coleman currently holds the starting left tackle role.
