Laremy Tunsil Out for Surgery as Commanders Turn to Brandon Coleman at Left Tackle

The team will rely on internal depth while Jayden Daniels and new receiver Stefon Diggs show fast chemistry and offensive promise that could be limited by interior line injuries.

Overview

  • The Commanders confirmed a torn triceps for left tackle Laremy Tunsil that will require surgery and an unspecified period on the sideline.
  • Head coach Dan Quinn said the club is not adding an outside left tackle right now and will give Brandon Coleman extended reps at left tackle with Andrew Wylie as the swing option.
  • Jayden Daniels and Stefon Diggs connected repeatedly in Wednesday’s joint practice with the Miami Dolphins, showing clear early chemistry and strong passing-day tape for the offense.
  • Center Nick Allegretti remains out with a strained calf and backups have minimal NFL snaps, leaving interior offensive-line depth and run blocking as significant unresolved concerns.
  • The decisions this week — internal tackle promotion, Diggs’ rapid integration, and Allegretti’s status — will shape protection plans for the preseason opener and influence roster moves if problems persist.
