# Laremy Tunsil NFL player. Position: **OL (Left Tackle)**. Team: **WAS** (Washington Commanders). ## Quick Facts - **Position:** Left Tackle (OL) - **Team:** WAS (Washington Commanders) - **Career Status:** 5-time Pro Bowler, All-Pro caliber - **Contract:** 2-year, $60.2M extension (signed March 2026) - **Career earnings:** $223.8M total ## 2026 Outlook Laremy Tunsil was the Commanders' anchoring left tackle and a critical piece of their 2026 offensive line. However, his season is now in jeopardy after suffering a torn triceps at training camp on August 8, 2026. The injury is expected to require surgery and will sideline him for a significant portion of the regular season. Per NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, the Commanders are expecting Tunsil to miss "most or all of the regular season," a catastrophic loss for a 5-time Pro Bowl pass protector. Brandon Coleman will assume the starting left tackle role for Washington, replacing Tunsil. The absence removes a proven Pro Bowl pass protector and creates a major vulnerability for Jayden Daniels and the Commanders' newly assembled offense (per Tunsil out indefinitely after torn triceps, NFL training camp live updates, news, injuries for Aug. 10 - USA Today, NFL Rumors: $66 Million Quarterback Abruptly Retires, Shedeur Sanders Dealt News on Browns QB). The impact became starkly apparent during an Aug 26 joint practice with the Ravens. Without Tunsil, Nick Allegretti (calf), and Sam Cosmi (illness), the Commanders' offense was in complete disarray: snap miscues on basic plays, forced Jayden Daniels to field wayward snaps leading to interceptions, and poor overall pass protection. CBS Sports characterized the mismatch as "by far the biggest mismatch" of the practice, with Baltimore's defense looking like they didn't belong on the same field as Washington's backup-heavy line. Coleman, stepping in for Tunsil, was pressured heavily by Ravens edge rushers like Trey Hendrickson, who beat Coleman multiple times. The lack of a proven Pro Bowl anchor at left tackle—combined with a thin backup plan—exposed Washington's offensive line as a material risk to their season outlook (per Commanders offense called 'worst I've ever seen' in years: Fact or fiction from joint practice vs. Ravens). ## Role / Depth Chart Starting left tackle for Washington Commanders offensive line. Had just signed major extension ($60.2M/2 years in March 2026) signaling the organization's commitment to protecting quarterback and developing the offensive scheme. ## Injury Status **August 8, 2026 — Torn triceps:** Tunsil suffered a torn triceps during 1-on-1 pass-rush drills at Commanders training camp. Initial reports indicated shoulder/neck injury, but follow-up evaluation revealed torn triceps. The injury is expected to require surgery and will result in missed significant time during the 2026 regular season. NFL Network's Mike Garafolo initially reported "not sensing huge panic," but testing revealed the severity.
