The Washington Commanders offense will be without one of its most integral players for the foreseeable future.

Commanders head coach Dan Quinn confirmed Monday that franchise left tackle Laremy Tunsil will be sidelined indefinitely, as he needs surgery on his torn triceps.

"It’s always tough to talk about a player missing time, and especially a great player like LT," Quinn said. "He is an absolutely fantastic teammate, and he’ll be missed. We certainly can’t wait to get him back."

The 32-year-old was injured during an individual drill on Saturday against pass rusher Odafe Oweh. Tunsil immediately went down and took a knee after the play and was quickly ushered to the facility after talking with the training staff.

The Commanders made Tunsil the highest-paid tackle in the NFL with a two-year, $60.2 million contract extension in March. He became the first lineman in NFL history to make $30 million annually.

The five-time Pro Bowler has been one of the best left tackles in the NFL since being drafted by the Miami Dolphins with the No. 13 overall pick in the NFL Draft. He spent three seasons in Miami before being traded to the Houston Texans in 2019 and spent the next six seasons in Texas.
