Commanders prepare for season without Laremy Tunsil due to injury
Summary

The Washington Commanders are facing a significant challenge as left tackle Laremy Tunsil will miss the entire 2026 season following a torn triceps muscle that requires surgery. In his absence, Brandon Coleman has been named the starting left tackle to protect quarterback Jayden Daniels. Tunsil was recently signed as the league's highest-paid tackle and was a key player on the offensive line. Trent Scott, a reserve tackle, mentioned the team's 'next-man-up mentality' as they adapt to the loss. Coleman brings past experience at the position and will aim to fill the void left by Tunsil.
