Commanders Make Savvy Move Replacing Laremy Tunsil With Pro Bowl LT

The Washington Commanders made a solid move on Tuesday, bringing in a Pro Bowl left tackle amid Laremy Tunsil's injury.

The Washington Commanders have made a strategic decision to bolster their offensive line by signing left tackle DJ Humphries to a one-year contract. This move comes as backup tackle Laremy Tunsil, who suffered a significant injury, is expected to miss most, if not all, of the regular season. Tunsil, a five-time Pro Bowl offensive tackle, signed a two-year, $60.2 million contract extension with the Commanders in March.

The decision to bring in Humphries, who has 101 career starts mostly with the Cardinals, provides Washington with critical depth and starting experience at left tackle. This strategic move aims to protect quarterbacks like Jayden Daniels as they navigate the challenges posed by Tunsil's absence.
