Coleman is making an important transition to the left guard spot this season after the Commanders traded for five-time Pro Bowl blindside enforcer Laremy Tunsil. This is also the reason why he wanted to gain valuable reps in a typical NFL game-day setting. It was initially expected that Coleman would not feature to avoid the risk of further issues.
