Washington Commanders cornerback Marshon Lattimore will miss his third consecutive game on Sunday against the Dallas Cowboys, head coach Dan Quinn announced Friday.
Acquired via trade from the New Orleans Saints three weeks ago, Lattimore has yet to practice for Washington as he rehabilitates a hamstring injury. Quinn said on Monday that Lattimore was trending in the right direction, and the Commanders knew fully about the hamstring injury ahead of the trade.
“We knew there was going to be some time where it wasn’t plug and play after the trade,” Quinn said. “And so, what I look for from the player to see, is he working as hard as he can to do that and learning as quick as he can? And good news for us is that Marshon’s like absolutely savage worker, wants to go be as ready as you can and digging in, but we’re just not going to take the chance.”
Washington plays Tennessee in Week 13 before a Week 14 bye. The Commanders could be targeting a Week 15 debut for Lattimore, which, coincidentally, will be against Lattimore’s former team, the New Orleans Saints.
