Summary

  • Dan Quinn said Laremy Tunsil will have surgery after a triceps injury forced the Commanders' left tackle out of Saturday's practice, with his recovery timeline to be set afterward.
  • Brandon Coleman will replace Tunsil at left tackle for now, Quinn said, giving the 2024 third-round pick a bigger role after 17 starts across his first two seasons.
  • Washington does not plan to seek immediate outside help at the position, signaling the team will rely on Coleman while it waits for post-surgery clarity on Tunsil.
