Commanders' Brandon Coleman: Shifts back to tackle
Rotowire
Coleman is set to move back to left tackle, Nicki Jhabvala of The Athletic reports.
Coleman moved to left guard after being drafted by the Commanders due to the presence of Laremy Tunsil (triceps). Since Tunsil will miss a significant portion of the 2026 season due to his recent triceps tear, the team has made the decision to move Coleman back to his original position. Chris Paul is set to start at left guard to replace Coleman.

Coleman was diagnosed with a concussion in Week 7, which sidelined him for Week 8 against the Bears.

Commanders' Brandon Coleman: Won't play vs. Bears
Rotowire
Coleman (concussion) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against Chicago.
Coleman was diagnosed with a concussion during the Commanders' Week 7 win over the Panthers. He was unable to practice all week while working through the league's concussion protocols, and that could put him in jeopardy of also missing the Commanders' Week 9 NFC East showdown against the Giants on Sunday, Nov. 3. Cornelius Lucas filled in at left tackle after Coleman's exit in Week 7, and the former figures to draw the start at that spot for Sunday's contest.

Commanders' Brandon Coleman: In concussion protocol
Rotowire
Head coach Dan Quinn told reporters Monday that Coleman is in concussion protocol following Sunday's 40-7 win over the Panthers, Ben Standig of The Athletic reports.
The 2024 third-round pick out of TCU played just 15 offensive snaps before exiting Washington's blowout win due to a concussion. Coleman's participation in practice throughout the week will provide the best indication of whether he can return for the Commanders' Week 8 matchup against the Bears. However, Coleman must clear the NFL's five-step concussion protocol in order to suit up Sunday, regardless of his practice participation.
Coleman is being evaluated for a concussion and is listed as questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Panthers, Ben Standig of The Athletic reports.
Coleman was checked out in the blue medical tent following his head injury, but he has gone back to the locker room for further evaluation. He will need to pass the league's five-step concussion protocols in order to return to Sunday's game. Cornelius Lucas is the next man up at left tackle while Coleman is sidelined.

Commanders' Brandon Coleman: Helps O-Line in Washington
Rotowire
The Commanders selected Coleman in the third round of the NFL Draft, 67th overall.
Washington continues to stack talent at positions of need in the new front office's first draft. Coleman started at left tackle and left guard for some excellent TCU teams and grades out as a plus athlete for either spot at the next level. With experience across the left side of the line, Coleman should immediately challenge for a starting job as a rookie.
