"Not ideal, but he did enough over the summer to win the starting left guard job. That didn't last. Coleman struggled to generate an impact, and he was benched in favor of Chris Paul. The TCU product has been on the fringes, but he got the chance to log starting reps once again when Tunsil got hurt in Week 15 against the New York Giants."
"I was under the impression it was a healthy scratch as well. So after some further conversation, the reason he ultimately got benched is that he was playing through an injury, and they thought he didn't have the play strength to be reliable while playing hurt. They let him get healthy, and unfortunately for him, Chris Paul's just been amazing. But, he's now earned that swing tackle role."
Brandon Coleman moved from tackle to the interior after the Commanders traded for Laremy Tunsil and won the starting left guard job during the summer. Coleman struggled to generate impact and was benched in favor of Chris Paul. Team sources say the benching stemmed from a lingering injury that reduced Coleman’s play strength, prompting the team to let him heal. Coleman started again when Tunsil was injured in Week 15 and performed capably. If Tunsil is healthy in Week 16, Coleman will likely revert to a reserve role.
