Marshon Lattimore came to the Washington Commanders in early November following a trade with the New Orleans Saints and has yet to make his debut. This Friday, in the lead-up to the 2024 NFL Week 12 game against the Dallas Cowboys, the cornerback’s final update was reported by head coach Dann Quinn.
Lattimore had already missed his last game with the Saints, but speculation about his trade suggested it was a way to stay healthy and protect himself before changing teams. However, his absence was prolonged during his time with the Commanders.
The four-time Pro Bowl cornerback has been sidelined with an injury that has kept him out of the two games Washington has played since joining the franchise. On Friday, coach Dan Quinn said Lattimore is not fully recovered and will miss the game against the Cowboys.
Quinn had said earlier in the week that he was hopeful Lattimore would be able to practice, at least partially, but the Commanders cornerback was unable to make it and now the team will have to hope that his physical condition improves by next week.
Head coach Dan Quinn of the Washington Commanders looks on before a preseason game against the New England Patriots at Commanders Field on August 25, 2024 in Landover, Maryland.
What is Lattimore’s injury?
Lattimore is dealing with a hamstring injury, an ailment that occurred in mid-October. His last appearance of the current season was in the Week 8 game between the Saints and Los Angeles Chargers, where he contributed two combined tackles.
