Commanders LT Laremy Tunsil suffers torn triceps

Washington Commanders left tackle Laremy Tunsil suffered a torn triceps during practice on Saturday, August 8, 2026, and is expected to miss a significant portion of the upcoming regular season. The injury, which occurred during one-on-one pass-rush drills, will likely require surgery, according to multiple reports from NFL Network's Mike Garafolo and Steve Wyche.

Tunsil, a five-time Pro Bowl selection, is considered one of the most important players on the Commanders' roster. The 32-year-old was entering his second season with Washington after signing a two-year, $60.2 million extension in March that made him the highest-paid offensive tackle in the league. He started 14 games in 2025 and was graded as the second-best pass-blocking tackle in the NFL by Pro Football Focus.

The exact timeline for Tunsil's recovery is not yet known, but sources indicate he will miss at least a significant portion of the 2026 campaign. According to the Mayo Clinic, surgery for a triceps tear can involve a recovery period of three months or more. The Commanders are still gathering full medical information to determine a firm timeline for his return.
