Tunsil tore his right triceps during practice Saturday and is expected to need surgery, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
According to Garafolo, Tunsil is expected to miss "at least a significant portion" of the 2026 season. The loss of Tunsil for any length of time is a brutal blow for the Commanders offense, as he's regarded as one of the league's top left tackles and was signed to a two-year, $60.2 million contract extension in March, making him the highest-paid offensive lineman in NFL history. For however long as Tunsil is sidelined, Brandon Coleman is expected to step in as the Commanders' starting left tackle, per Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post.
