Laremy Tunsil Fantasy

The Houston Texans are expected to keep Pro Bowl left tackle Laremy Tunsil around for next season, according to league sources. Tunsil was the subject of unprompted exploratory trade calls from other teams, but the Texans will move forward with him. The two-time Pro Bowler played in a career-low five games in 2021 due to a lingering thumb injury that required surgery in October. When healthy, the former first-round pick (13th overall) of the Miami Dolphins has been among the best left tackles in football. The Texans will restructure his deal to convert the bulk of his 2022 salary into a signing bonus that prorates over the final two years of his deal. A healthy Tunsil next year will be good news for quarterback Davis Mills or whomever is under center for the Texans.

Houston Texans head coach David Culley said that left tackle Laremy Tunsil (thumb) will have surgery to fix a fully torn UCL in his thumb and will be out for around a month. Tunsil initially said he was hoping to play through his thumb injury, but that won't be the case with surgery needed. The 27-year-old two-time Pro Bowler will now miss at least the next few weeks, which will be a downgrade for the protection of rookie quarterback Davis Mills, who has been sacked 11 times in the first four games of his career. With Tunsil out for around a month, the Texans will likely ask Geron Christian to take over at left tackle on Houston's offensive line.

Houston Texans left tackle Laremy Tunsil (ankle) suffered what is believed to be a high-ankle sprain in the Week 16 loss to the Bengals and he is highly unlikely to play in Week 17 against the Titans, according to a source. Tunsil will finish up a Pro Bowl season as the blind-side protector for quarterback Deshaun Watson. His absence in Week 17 against the Titans is bad news for Watson, while it will be good news for a Titans Defense that has struggled to get consistent pressure on opposing quarterbacks. Watson and running back David Johnson could have a tough time getting things going in the regular season finale against a Titans team still trying to punch their ticket to the postseason.
