Laremy Tunsil to miss significant time for Washington Commanders
Summary

Washington Commanders left tackle Laremy Tunsil suffered a torn triceps during Saturday's practice and is expected to miss a significant portion of the 2026 regular season. The injury occurred during a one-on-one matchup with edge rusher Odafe Oweh, leading to Tunsil's exit for medical evaluation. Tunsil's absence comes as the Commanders were viewed to have a strong offensive line. The team traded four draft picks to acquire Tunsil, who signed a two-year contract worth $60.2 million shortly after free agency started. Coach Dan Quinn is awaiting further diagnosis on other injured players, including center Nick Allegretti and tight end John Bates.
