What happened: Dan Quinn confirmed the change Monday after Tunsil tore his triceps in practice. Coleman has previously handled the position during Tunsil's absences.
Why it matters: Washington must reset its protection plan after confirming Tunsil will undergo triceps surgery. Coleman becomes the first option on the quarterback's blind side entering the 2026 season.
By the numbers: Tunsil's two-year extension is worth $60.2 million.
What to watch: Coleman's preseason work will show how quickly he settles back into the role. Tunsil's post-surgery assessment will establish his recovery timeline.
