Washington Commanders left tackle Laremy Tunsil suffered a torn triceps during a one-on-one pass-rush drill against Odafe Oweh during training camp. The injury is expected to require surgery and will cause the five-time Pro Bowler to miss a significant portion of the 2026 regular season. Recovery timelines for the injury typically range from four to seven months.

The injury has prompted discussions regarding the team's offensive line depth, particularly concerning the protection of quarterback Jayden Daniels, whose injury history from the previous season has heightened concerns. 

Head coach Dan Quinn indicated that the team intends to rely on internal options rather than seeking outside help. Brandon Coleman is expected to serve as the starting left tackle, with Andrew Wylie or Josh Conerly Jr. serving as other potential replacements. This shift in strategy moves the team away from previously discussed external possibilities, such as pursuing free agent Taylor Decker or seeking a trade for Jacksonville Jaguars' Walker Little. The Commanders are scheduled to open the regular season against the Philadelphia Eagles on September 13.
