Washington Commanders' Laremy Tunsil Suffers Torn Triceps, Likely to Miss Regular Season Washington Commanders left tackle Laremy Tunsil suffered a torn triceps during practice, requiring surgery and sidelining him for at least a significant portion of the 2026 regular season, according to a source shared with NFL Network reporters Mike Garafolo and Steve Wyche. The injury occurred during a one-on-one pass rush drill against linebacker Odafe Oweh on Saturday, when Oweh drove into Tunsil’s upper body. Tunsil immediately bent over in apparent pain, clutched his right side, and exited the field for medical evaluation. The 32-year-old offensive lineman’s injury is expected to require four to seven months of recovery, potentially keeping him out for a substantial portion of the season. Tunsil, a five-time Pro Bowler, was signed by Washington in the 2025 offseason under a two-year, $61.5 million contract, making him the first offensive lineman to secure a deal averaging $30 million annually. The trade for Tunsil involved four draft picks, including two in 2025 and 2026, exchanged with the Houston Texans. Tunsil’s absence is a major setback for a team aiming to rebuild after a 2024 season in which they reached the NFC Championship Game. Washington’s camp had been a positive one following the 2024 season, with players and coaches discussing increased energy and momentum. However, the injury complicates efforts to maintain that progress. The Commanders signed receiver Stefon Diggs on Wednesday to address another key weakness, but Tunsil’s absence threatens to disrupt the offensive line’s stability. Tunsil’s role extended beyond his on-field performance. He became a mentor to rookie right tackle Josh Conerly Jr., the team’s first-round pick in 2024, and worked with him during offseason training at Auburn.#chris_paul #washington_commanders #ste_diggs #laremy_tunsil #odafe_oweh
