Washington Commanders Left Tackle Laremy Tunsil Tore Triceps In 1-on-1 Practice
It’s a crucial position in the game of football as far as the quarterback is concerned. The position requires the player to protect the pass thrower at all times. If he isn’t doing the job properly, then the signal caller is likely to get sacked multiple times, throw errant passes or even turn the ball over. Unfortunately, it appears that Jayden Daniels is going to have to worry about his protection this season. Washington Commanders left tackle Laremy Tunsil tore his triceps in 1-0n-1 practice Saturday.
NFL Insiders Mike Garofolo and Steve Wyche reported on the injury, posting:
“Sources to me and @wyche89: #Commanders five-time Pro Bowl LT Laremy Tunsil suffered a torn triceps in practice today during 1-on-1 pass-rush drills. He’ll likely require surgery and will miss at least a significant portion of the regular season.”
At this time, no additional information has been provided on how long exactly Tunsil will be out. However, it sounds like he is going to be missing in action for a while. Hence, the reason for Jayden Daniels being concerned. Tunsil suffered the injury while attempting to stifle a bull rush from free-agent addition Odafe Oweh during one-on-one drills. Some replacement options were speculated on by Adam Schefter who posted: “Andrew Wylie is an option to be the Commanders’ left tackle. But Brandon Coleman was Washington’s left tackle in 2024, and he also could be moved back.”
The Bleacher Report conducted an exhaustive offensive linemen film review. They graded every non-rookie on a 100-point scale built from position-specific traits. Per the report, Laremy Tunsil came in second place for left tackles, just behind Tristan Wirfs of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at No 1. Tunsil has worked hard over the years of his NFL career to inspire that kind of ranking.

In an interview with Brandon Thorne of Bleacher Report, Tunsil shared how he got better at his position. “One of the most interesting parts of my conversation with Laremy Tunsil was hearing him discuss the adjustment that changed his career. After years of getting beat inside, Tunsil began working with former NFL OL Mike Wahle, who introduced him to a line set influenced by Hall of Famer Walter Jones. The result was a simpler approach that helped eliminate many of the inside losses and spins that frustrated him earlier in his career.”
The Commanders had worked out a new deal with Tunsil in early March, a two-year extension with the left tackle. The deal was a $60.2 million extension that reset the left-tackle market. We wish a speedy recovery to Laremy Tunsil and hope he will return sooner rather than later.
