Laremy Tunsil to Miss Most of 2026 Season Due to Injury

ASHBURN, Va. — Laremy Tunsil, the left tackle for the Washington Commanders, is anticipated to miss most of the 2026 season due to a torn triceps, as reported by NFL Network. The injury occurred during practice on Saturday.

The five-time Pro Bowler will require surgery to address the injury. Tunsil joined the Commanders in a trade with Houston in March 2025 and had started 14 of 17 games last season. He signed a two-year, $60.2 million contract extension in the offseason.

With Tunsil's absence, the Commanders will need to find a replacement for a critical position on the offensive line. Options include moving swing lineman Andrew Wylie or right tackle Josh Conerly Jr. to the left side, utilizing Brandon Coleman, a third-round pick from the 2024 NFL draft, or potentially making a trade before their season opener on September 13 against Philadelphia.
