Washington Commanders head coach Dan Quinn announced Friday that cornerback Marshon Lattimore won’t be making his debut in their Week 12 game with the Dallas Cowboys this Sunday — meaning the former Pro Bowler will have missed his first three games with his new team since being dealt from the New Orleans Saints at the NFL trade deadline.
And Washington has lost each of their first two games since trading for Lattimore. They fell to the Pittsburgh 28-27 and were knocked out by the division-rival Philadelphia Eagles 26-18. The Commanders gave up 746 yards across those two games, so they could’ve used Lattimore’s help. But a nagging hamstring injury has kept him sidelined since Oct. 27.
Quinn added that while he’s optimistic Lattimore could play in Week 13 against the Tennessee Titans, it’s too soon to say with certainty that he’ll be ready to go. If he misses that game, too, there’s a good chance Lattimore won’t make his Commanders debut until after their Week 14 bye — meaning he would be in line to play against his old team when Washington visits the Saints in Week 15. Stay tuned.
