Star wide receiver Terry McLaurin didn’t take the field for the Commanders on Tuesday, but offensive tackle Laremy Tunsil and cornerback Marshon Lattimore practiced with teammates for the first time this offseason.
Tunsil and Lattimore — like McLaurin — skipped the voluntary practices that began last month. Neither player provided a reason for their absence, but kept a similar routine with their previous teams.
Tuesday marked their first time working with new teammates in 11-on-11 drills at mandatory minicamp.
The practices are still contactless, but teammates said the returning veterans are earning their reputation.
“Basically everything,” second-year lineman Brandon Coleman said of what he can learn from Tunsil. “He’s a guy I watched in college to work on my tackle technique. Now being able to learn how to pin combos as a guard.”
The addition of Tunsil, who the Commanders traded for this spring, forced Coleman inside to guard. The selection of offensive tackle Josh Conerly Jr. with the first-round pick solidified the move.
