What happened: Laremy Tunsil is set for triceps surgery after tearing the muscle during one-on-one pass-rush drills. Dan Orlovsky endorsed an assessment placing the tackle behind only Jayden Daniels in roster indispensability.
Why it matters: Losing the primary blindside protector would force a major reshuffle in front of Daniels entering the 2026 season. Tunsil's March extension makes the injury a roster and contract issue beyond the immediate lineup change.
By the numbers: Tunsil's March extension included $52.65 million guaranteed.
What to watch: The recovery timeline will come into focus after the operation. Preseason reps at left tackle will show how the protection plan changes.
