Commanders fans, this one hits hard. Star left tackle Laremy Tunsil tore his triceps Saturday in a one-on-one pass-rush drill and now faces surgery that could sideline him for most of the season.
Odafe Oweh sold the outside move then cut inside, driving straight into Tunsil's upper body. The five-time Pro Bowler doubled over clutching his right side, headed to the medical tent, then disappeared inside the facility for evaluation. Typical recovery runs four to seven months, so he's looking at a long stretch away.]
Washington just gave Tunsil a two-year extension with $61.5 million guaranteed this offseason—the first offensive lineman to average $30 million a year. They traded a pile of picks to Houston for him last year, and he started 14 games while mentoring young tackles like Josh Conerly Jr.
Brandon Coleman now slides over to left tackle after competing at guard. He's started some games there before, but this is a big jump. Andrew Wylie has barely played the left side in his whole career.
Camp had been buzzing with good energy after last year's 5-12 finish, especially after adding Stefon Diggs. This injury rips a hole in the plan just as they try to recapture that 2024 NFC Championship run. Jayden Daniels needs that blind-side protection more than ever.
