Left tackle Laremy Tunsil has been ruled out of Saturday's game against the Philadelphia Eagles with a strained oblique, head coach Dan Quinn said Thursday.
Tunsil, who left last Sunday's win over the New York Giants with two separate injuries, was a limited participant on Wednesday but was not seen during the open portion of practice on Thursday.
"He tried to go at practice yesterday, and he's just not there yet," Quinn said. "We'll hopefully get him back for the final game, but not for this one."
Tunsil's absence means that Brandon Coleman, who stepped in for Tunsil last weekend, will likely get the start at left tackle -- a position he held throughout his rookie season. Coleman had one of his best games of the season, according to Pro Football Focus, particularly as a pass protector. He allowed zero pressures on 14 pass blocking plays and earned a grade of 86.4 -- his highest of the season.
Coleman was originally the team's starting left guard before being replaced by Chris Paul early in the season. Quinn thought Coleman was ready for the moment to get back in the lineup, and he's seen the second-year offensive lineman stand out in recent weeks.
"I saw good practice habits," Quinn said. "I wasn't surprised that he performed well ... It's not always smooth, but it showed a lot about his resilience."
This story will be updated once Washington's full injury report has been released.
