By james art The Washington Commanders will have to figure out how to deal with a rib injury to first-round pick Jaden Daniels, but he’s not the only first-year player on the sidelines.
Commanders offensive tackle Brandon Coleman is dealing with a concussion, and coach Dan Quinn gave an update on his condition.
“Brandon is in the concussion protocol and he’s going to deal with that as we go through it this week,” Quinn said.
Coleman, 24, is a third-round pick out of TCU who has appeared in every game this season for the Commanders so far. Through the team’s seven games, Coleman has made three starts as he continues to emerge as a potential long-term option for the team. However, he is now dealing with a setback that could hold him out for this week’s game against the Chicago Bears.
Even with the possibility of Coleman out, the commanders don’t want to make drastic changes.
“No one came in with an injury that stuck us like that. So that was good. Normal injuries that pop up in a game, but nothing that knocks us out. We didn’t do any activations last game, so that was a good sign that I thought we were getting stronger, and then as we go through the process of this week, we’ll see where we’re at,” Quinn said.
The Chiefs face the Bears on Sunday at 4:25 PM ET.
