KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Washington Commanders left tackle Laremy Tunsil was ruled out of Monday night's game in the second half against the Kansas City Chiefs because of a hamstring injury, adding to the team's injury woes this season.
Tunsil hurt his hamstring midway through the first quarter, but returned in the second for one series. But on Washington's final series of the first half, he left the game again, this time for good.
There was no update on Tunsil's status after the game, which Kansas City won 28-7 to drop Washington to 3-5.
Tunsil, acquired in an offseason trade with the Houston Texans, has been Washington's best offensive lineman this season. He was replaced by second-year Brandon Coleman, who opened the season as the starting left guard but was benched after Week 2. Coleman started 12 games at left tackle in 2024.
The Commanders have been hit hard by injuries this season. Washington has five starters on injured reserve, and quarterback Jayden Daniels, who has a hamstring injury, missed his third game this season Monday. Nine key players have already missed at least four games this season.
One of them, receiver Terry McLaurin, returned Monday after a four-game absence, but he might have reinjured his right quad. He exited the game after making a diving 25-yard catch with 1:59 left in the third quarter.
After the game, McLaurin said he's "pretty optimistic" about the quad, but he's not "putting any specifications on it right now."
"I felt pretty good," McLaurin said. "I'll see how it progresses from there."
McLaurin finished with three catches for 54 yards, including an 11-yard touchdown catch.
