ESPN’s John Keim believes OL Brandon Coleman is the “top internal option” to takeover at LT for Laremy Tunsil.

09 August 2026

Tunsil suffered a torn triceps in Saturday’s practice and is expected to miss most or all of the regular season. Coleman, who has started 14 games at left tackle in his career, is currently competing for the starting job at left guard, but could slide over to tackle with Tunsil now sidelined. Per PFF, Coleman allowed nine sacks and 30 QB pressures during the 2024 season while earning a 65.3 pass-blocking grade. Other internal options included veteran tackle Andrew Wylie and 2025 first-rounder Josh Conerly Jr., who currently occupies the starting right tackle slot. It wouldn’t be surprising if we saw multiple players get a shot at filling the massive void left by Tunsil in the coming days/weeks.
