"Coleman had to switch positions this offseason when the Commanders traded for five-time Pro Bowl left tackle Laremy Tunsil. He earned the starting left guard position but lasted just two games before he was benched. Whether a lingering injury issue had anything to do with it is anyone's guess, but the fact that he was barely on the active game-day roster spoke volumes."
"The former TCU standout is getting a look down the stretch with Tunsil out. Coleman looks more accomplished and urgent in everything he does. He is not the finished article by any stretch of the imagination, but his upturn in consistency indicates that all hope is not lost just yet. This hasn't gone unnoticed by Quinn. The coach thinks Coleman has learned a great deal in his second campaign."
""I think...he has learned a lot here in year two. This is a resilient guy that can do a lot of things based on his athleticism, him learning and going through the hard moments." Dan Quinn via Commanders.com Coleman will start at left tackle again in Week 18 against the Philadelphia Eagles if he gets the all-clear to participate. He's listed as questionable with a knee problem, but he practiced in full on Friday."
Brandon Coleman, a second-year offensive lineman, switched positions after the Commanders traded for Laremy Tunsil and earned the starting left guard job before being benched after two games. He was often off the active roster amid questions about a lingering injury. With Tunsil out, Coleman has received more opportunities late in the season and has displayed greater urgency and improved consistency while remaining a work in progress. The lineman practiced in full on Friday and is listed as questionable with a knee problem ahead of a potential Week 18 start at left tackle versus the Philadelphia Eagles.
