Laremy Tunsil is expected to miss a major chunk of the season. The Commanders left tackle suffered a torn triceps during practice on Saturday. The injury occurred during one-on-one pass-rush drills.

Sources indicate Tunsil will likely need surgery. He will miss at least a significant portion of the regular season. The exact timeline remains unknown.

Tunsil is a five-time Pro Bowl selection. He signed with Washington to anchor the offensive line in front of the quarterback.

“Washington Commanders left tackle Laremy Tunsil suffered a torn triceps in Saturday’s practice and will miss at least a significant portion of the regular season, NFL Network Insider Mike Garafolo and NFL Network’s Steve Wyche reported.

“Garafolo and Wyche added that Tunsil is likely to require surgery.

“Tunsil, 32, was preparing for his second season with Washington after signing a massive two-year, $60.2 million extension in March. He made a Pro Bowl with the Commanders in 2025, his such recognition.”

Tunsil has been one of the most reliable left tackles in the league for years. The sudden injury creates an immediate hole on the blind side.

Washington will now turn to the next man up on the depth chart. The team must adjust protection schemes and prepare for life without its top offensive lineman for an extended stretch.

The timing makes the setback even tougher. Training camp is underway and the regular season is approaching fast.

Laremy Tunsil’s absence will force the Commanders to reshuffle the offensive line. Depth at tackle will be tested early and often.

The organization is still gathering full medical information. Early reports from multiple sources confirm both the torn triceps and the likelihood of surgery.

Fans and analysts reacted with frustration across social media. Losing a player of Tunsil’s caliber this early ranks among the bigger injuries of the summer.

The Commanders must now find a way to protect the quarterback without their veteran left tackle. Laremy Tunsil’s season is in serious jeopardy after the practice injury.
