Laremy Tunsil

No. 78 · 11th season

Five-time Pro Bowl left tackle down with a torn triceps.

Laremy Tunsil was one of the NFL's most durable anchors—a five-time Pro Bowl selection and the league's highest-paid offensive lineman, the kind of player a team builds its whole left side around. On Saturday during one-on-one pass-rush drills at training camp, that durability ended. A torn triceps, the kind of injury that does not heal on its own. Surgery is likely, and a significant stretch of the regular season is gone.

For the Washington Commanders, the timing is brutal. Tunsil is not just a starter; he is the foundational piece of the offensive line, the player tasked with keeping the quarterback upright. Losing him to injury this early—before the season even begins—forces the team to rebuild a protection scheme on the fly and look to a roster that was not built around a vacancy at left tackle.

What happens next matters enormously. Whether Tunsil returns as himself, whether the Commanders can hold things together without him, whether this is the first of a string of setbacks or a single hard hit—that is the story being written now.
