"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. That didn't sit well with the player, who told head coach Dan Quinn that he wanted to play to hone his craft before the campaign."
"Quinn relented, giving Coleman some early reps before going to the sidelines. And the Commanders must have been thrilled by what they saw from the TCU product. Coleman didn't miss a beat, displaying the raw power and athleticism that attracted him to the Commanders during last year's draft assessments. This was especially evident in the run game, with the interior force carving open some impressive lanes for Chris Rodriguez Jr. to do damage."
The Washington Commanders lost a preseason game badly to the Baltimore Ravens, raising fan pessimism about depth-chart players. Many preseason participants likely will not make the 53-man roster for Week 1 against the New York Giants. Offensive lineman Brandon Coleman returned to practice after a training-camp complication and was given cautious treatment by coaches while waiting for Sam Cosmi's ACL recovery. Coleman took some preseason reps at left guard, displayed raw power and athleticism, and opened running lanes for Chris Rodriguez Jr. Head coach Dan Quinn praised Coleman’s attitude. The performance provided a morale boost despite the overall lackluster team showing.
