Marshon Lattimore's Continued Absence

In a significant blow to the Commanders, cornerback Marshon Lattimore will be out for yet another game. Head coach Dan Quinn revealed that Lattimore will miss the upcoming clash against the Dallas Cowboys due to a lingering hamstring injury. This marks the seventh game Lattimore has been unable to participate in since being acquired from the New Orleans Saints in a trade at the end of October.

Hope for Recovery

Despite his ongoing absence, Quinn expressed optimism about Lattimore's recovery, suggesting that he is nearing full fitness and could potentially return for the critical wild card round of the playoffs. The Commanders will undoubtedly need their star cornerback as they look to make a deep run in the postseason.

Injury Report

In addition to Lattimore, the team will also be without safety Tyler Owens, who is dealing with an ankle injury, and linebacker Jordan Magee, whose hamstring issues have kept him off the field as well. With injuries piling up, the Commanders will need to rely heavily on their depth as they face a tough Cowboys team.

Ekeler's Status Uncertain

Meanwhile, there's uncertainty surrounding the status of running back Austin Ekeler, who has been on injured reserve. Quinn indicated that a decision on whether to activate Ekeler will come just before the matchup with Dallas, leaving fans eagerly awaiting any news on his potential return.

Looking Ahead

As the Commanders gear up for this crucial game, the absence of key players like Lattimore and possibly Ekeler could be a game-changer. Will their playoff dreams hinge on the return of these injured stars? Only time will tell as they prepare for a must-win situation against their division rivals.
