Laremy Tunsil leaves Commanders practice early after injury in 1-on-1 drill

Laremy Tunsil left Saturday’s training camp practice early after getting hurt in a 1-on-1 drill, a sudden turn that put the Commanders on watch for word on his condition. The injury appeared to involve his shoulder and neck, and he was set to be evaluated and tested after practice.

That is the part that matters now. Tunsil is a key piece of the line, so any interruption to his work carries real weight even in camp. Mike Garafolo reported that the team does not appear to be overly concerned, but he also said it would not be surprising if Tunsil missed some time. For a player in live work, that leaves the day with more uncertainty than the team would prefer.

The timing adds a little more context. Trey Amos was activated from the physically unable to perform list on Friday, and reporters at practice also noted that he departed early. But the focus stayed on Tunsil, whose exit came in the middle of a 1-on-1 session with Odafe Oweh and not after the kind of routine contact teams can usually dismiss.

That is why the next step matters. The Commanders are waiting for the results of the evaluation and tests, and the outcome will determine whether this is a brief camp pause or something that keeps Tunsil off the field for a stretch. For now, the only firm answer is that Saturday ended early for him, and the full picture has not yet come into focus.
