Injury blow opens unexpected door for Commanders draft pick after fast fall
"Five-time Pro Bowl left tackle Laremy Tunsil is out with an oblique injury. The elite blindside enforcer left last weekend's win against the New York Giants. After returning briefly, he went back to the sidelines, and the Commanders weren't satisfied with how the problem was healing enough to get him involved. That is a massive blow. But for Brandon Coleman, it's the opportunity at redemption he's been waiting for."
"The versatile lineman came in for Tunsil last weekend and played well. Head coach Dan Quinn confirmed he will start in Week 16, and he's confident the resolve the TCU product has shown since his benching can serve him well in the pressure cooker once again. "I saw good practice habits. I wasn't surprised that he performed well ... It's not always smooth, but it showed a lot about his resilience.""
Laremy Tunsil is sidelined with an oblique injury after leaving the win over the New York Giants and then returning briefly before being removed again. The Commanders judged the injury insufficiently healed to play. Brandon Coleman replaced Tunsil last weekend and performed well, earning confirmation from head coach Dan Quinn that he will start in Week 16. Coleman began his career as the team's starting left tackle as a rookie, shifted inside after roster changes, lost his spot following an injury and a replacement, then worked to regain health and technique and earned renewed opportunities in game packages.
