Commanders LT Laremy Tunsil Is Expected to Miss Most of 2026 with Torn Triceps, Report Says
Laremy Tunsil likely needs surgery after tearing his triceps in practice, leaving Washington with a major hole at left tackle.
- On Saturday, Washington Commanders left tackle Laremy Tunsil suffered a torn triceps during one-on-one pass-rush drills against defensive end Odafe Oweh, NFL Network reported. Surgery is likely, and Tunsil will miss significant time.
- Tunsil, the highest-paid offensive lineman at $30.1 million annually, was entrusted by Washington to protect quarterback Jayden Daniels' blindside. His absence leaves the team facing a critical question at left tackle weeks before the regular season.
- Since joining Washington in 2025, Tunsil started 14 games following six seasons with the Houston Texans that included five Pro Bowl selections. The team plummeted to 5-12 last year after going 12-5 and reaching the NFC championship game in 2024.
- Andrew Wylie took over at left tackle for the remainder of Saturday's practice after Tunsil departed. Earlier that day, Washington signed Daniel Brunskill, Nicholas Petit-Frere, and Max Scharping to increase competition, though the team clarified these moves were not injury-prompted.
- Washington is looking to bounce back in 2026 after last year's disappointing season, but the team needs to stay healthier than it was previously to succeed. The Commanders remain cautious with players during training camp in Ashburn.
