The Pittsburgh Steelers may pursue a trade with the Washington Commanders after offensive tackle Laremy Tunsil suffered a torn triceps in practice, requiring surgery. Tunsil's injury could sideline him for a significant portion of the 2026 season, prompting the Steelers to consider trading former first-round pick Broderick Jones. Jones is seen as a versatile option who could address the Commanders' immediate offensive line needs while offering the Steelers potential draft capital. Trading Jones would allow Pittsburgh to move on from the current roster experiment with him.
