"The Washington Commanders managed to hold on for a morale-boosting win over the New York Giants to end their eight-game losing slump. Pro Bowl left tackle Laremy Tunsil has been a rock this season. He's been nothing short of elite since joining the Commanders via trade from the Houston Texans, but he left the game in Week 15 twice. First, it was a shoulder problem. Then the edge protector suffered an oblique issue and didn't return."
"Those in power opted to put 2024 third-round pick Brandon Coleman on the blindside despite his lack of involvement since being benched in Week 3. He was solid enough, but this told fans all they needed to know about Andrew Wylie's future beyond 2025. Wylie was seen by most as the team's swing tackle option. While more of his NFL experience has come at the right tackle spot, head coach Dan Quinn and offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury could have easily plugged him into the left."
The Commanders ended an eight-game losing streak with a win over the Giants while handling injuries on the offensive line. Pro Bowl left tackle Laremy Tunsil exited Week 15 twice with a shoulder issue and then an oblique problem, prompting a contingency plan. Washington placed 2024 third-round pick Brandon Coleman at left tackle despite his benching since Week 3, effectively reducing Andrew Wylie's role. Wylie, primarily a right tackle who recently played guard, has been pushed to the fringes after the Tunsil trade and the Josh Conerly Jr. draft pick. Wylie is under contract through 2026, but his prospects in Washington have diminished.
