Things seem to be shaping up for Marshon Lattimore to make his Washington Commanders debut against his former team.
THE New Orleans Saints made their biggest splash at the trade deadline in recent memory when they traded Lattimore to the Commanders. The exchange wasn’t too surprising. There was apparent discontent between the sides and Lattimore has had to deal with long-term injuries in recent seasons.
Lattimore had missed a game with the Saints due to a hamstring at the time of the trade. This game turned into five games after his move to Washington, but things are looking up for the cornerback.
This week was Lattimore’s first time participating in practice. He still missed the Commanders’ Week 14 game against the Titans, but that’s a sign he’s close to returning to action.
The Commanders’ next game is against New Orleans, but Washington has a bye week first. This means Lattimore has two weeks to be physically ready to take the field. At this point, it will have been almost two months since he injured his hamstring.
Many Saints fans circled this game after the trade, but it’s Lattimore’s first game that’s a surprise.
