Washington Commanders defensive tackle will be out for "at least a significant portion of the regular season," per Steve Wyche and Mike Garafolo of NFL Network.

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. pic.twitter.com/mvj4EGEzxk

Tunsil will likely require surgery and miss significant time, but it is too early to put a timetable on his projected return. Tunsil was hurt in a one-on-one pass rush drill after bending over in pain and heading to the medical tent on Saturday for further evaluation.

Tunsil is a five-time Pro Bowler heading into his 11th year, and his 2nd with the Commanders. Per Pro Football Focus, Tunsil is coming off a very productive 2025 season, finishing 6th overall with 89 tackles while finishing 2nd in pass blocking.

Obviously seeking a second and third opinion on the injury, it appears that Tunsil will be out a minimum of four to seven months.

The Commanders have been dealt blow after blow when it comes to injuries over the past couple of seasons, following a 12-5 2024 campaign and an NFC Championship Game appearance. Last season, they finished 5-12.

We will provide you with more information as it becomes available.
