You're locked in to Sports Desk, let's get into it.
Washington Commanders left tackle Laremy Tunsil is facing a significant absence after suffering a torn triceps in practice on Saturday. Sources told NFL Network the injury will likely require surgery and could cost him a major chunk of the regular season. Losing your starting left tackle before the first snap is a brutal blow to any offensive line.
Shifting to Denver, the Broncos placed defensive lineman Matt Henningsen on season-ending injured reserve after he ruptured his Achilles in Friday's practice. What makes this story almost impossible to believe is that Henningsen tore the Achilles on his other foot exactly one year ago to the day. Two Achilles, two years, one incredibly unlucky young player.
And out in Phoenix, Shohei Ohtani took a meaningful step toward returning to the mound, playing catch before the Dodgers faced the Diamondbacks on Saturday. Ohtani had not been seen throwing off a mound since July twenty-second in Philadelphia, so this moment turned heads across the baseball world. The most compelling player in the sport is inching his way back, and every throw matters.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
