Commanders may be forced into the tackle trade market after Laremy Tunsil injury
The Washington Commanders may be forced to explore the trade market after losing left tackle Laremy Tunsil to a torn triceps. Tunsil is expected to miss a significant portion of the 2026 season, leaving Washington with an immediate question about protecting Jayden Daniels' blind side. The Commanders have already added veteran tackle Nicholas Petit-Frere for depth, but they could still pursue a bigger move before the regular season. Veteran tackles such as Taylor Decker have been floated externally as possible options, although no active negotiations with Detroit or another team have been reported. Washington has not announced a trade.
Corroborating: Reuters reported Tunsil's torn triceps and expected extended absence. Washington has added Nicholas Petit-Frere for depth, while outside trade options have been discussed by media outlets. No active trade negotiations have been confirmed.
