The Washington Commanders must wait a little longer before they can welcome their recently acquired star cornerback Marshon Lattimore on the field. The talented defender, whom the team acquired on November 5 in a highly publicized trade from the New Orleans Saints, is currently unable to participate in training due to a persistent thigh injury. In a recent decision, the Commanders (with a record of 7-4) also removed Lattimore from the roster of eligible players for the upcoming game against the Dallas Cowboys (3-7) next Sunday. This is undoubtedly a disappointment for the team and its fans, who had hoped for his defensive strength. Marshon Lattimore, 28 years old and already a four-time Pro Bowl selection, is among the most talented defenders in the league.

This season, he recorded 30 tackles in seven starts for the Saints, but his last appearance was on October 27. With an impressive 15 interceptions, 88 defended passes, and a total of 405 tackles in 97 career appearances, his presence is a valuable asset for any team.
