"The Washington Commanders' inactive players pretty much decided themselves in Week 4 against the Atlanta Falcons. Dan Quinn's squad is currently decimated by injuries, so it's a matter of managing things effectively and hoping some key players can return to action sooner rather than later. Jayden Daniels, Terry McLaurin, Percy Butler, Noah Brown, and John Bates were all ruled out. That left the Commanders with just two healthy players to remove from the equation before their game-day roster was finalized."
"Brandon Coleman forced to accept new reality with the Commanders This is another damning indictment of Coleman's long-term outlook. The 2024 third-round pick isn't a lost cause just yet, but others are clearly ahead of him in the pecking order. Offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury revealed this week that the TCU product's demotion was injury-related. However, that might not be the case after another crucial setback."
"Paul, who performed exceptionally well in place of Coleman, deservedly kept his spot at left guard. But not allocating the second-year pro a backup role is arguably more concerning. This could be Coleman's new reality for the time being. A considerable effort is needed to turn the tide. Regaining the trust of Washington's primary decision-makers is the first step. Staying focused and working hard to improve his craft should also be a high priority for him."
The Washington Commanders entered Week 4 shorthanded due to multiple injuries. Jayden Daniels, Terry McLaurin, Percy Butler, Noah Brown, and John Bates were ruled out. Only Preston Smith and Brandon Coleman were available to be designated inactive before kickoff. Preston Smith remains under conditioning after signing recently. Brandon Coleman was a healthy scratch for a second straight game after losing his starting job to Chris Paul. Kliff Kingsbury attributed Coleman's prior demotion to injury, but the coaching staff kept Paul and Andrew Wylie as the starting guards. Coleman must rebuild trust, improve technique, and wait for an opportunity.
