Luvu (shin) does not carry an injury designation into Sunday's matchup with the Giants, Ralph Vacchiano of Fox Sports reports. Luvu was absent from practice for the team's first two sessions of the week due to a shin issue, but he did return to log a limited practice Friday. The linebacker's participation was apparently enough for him to be ready to go for Week 9 versus New York.

Luvu (shin) didn't practice Wednesday, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports. Luvu played 100 percent of the Commanders' defensive snaps and recorded six total tackles in Sunday's win over the Bears, however, it appears he picked up a shin injury in the process. The first-year Commander will likely need to upgrade to at least limited participation either Thursday or Friday in order to suit up in Week 9, when Washington faces the Giants.

Luvu recorded four total tackles (two solo), including 1.0 sacks and an additional tackle for loss, in Sunday's 40-7 win over the Panthers. Luvu signed a three-year, $36 million contract with the Commanders this past offseason after posting a monster 2023 campaign in Carolina, where he recorded 125 total tackles, including 5.5 sacks, forced two fumbles and defended five passes across 17 regular-season games. The 28-year-old made an impact in the first matchup against his former team, as he was one of two Commanders to sack Andy Dalton. Luvu has now tallied 41 total tackles, including 4.0 sacks, one forced fumble and one pass defended through Washington's first seven games. He's expected to continue being a problem for opposing offenses as the Commanders take on the Bears in Week 8.

Luvu (toe) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Panthers, John Keim of ESPN.com reports. Luvu upgraded from a DNP on Thursday to a full practice session Friday, suggesting that he's moved past his toe injury. The Washington State product has logged 39 total tackles, including 3.0 sacks, and defended one pass across the Commanders' first six games. He's expected to start opposite Dante Fowler as part of Washington's top outside-linebacker duo in Week 7.

Luvu (toe) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice. Luvu played every single defensive snap and logged two tackles (one solo) during the Commanders' Week 6 loss to the Ravens, but he may have injured his toe in the process. The 28-year-old will have two more practices to increase his participation and avoid an injury designation ahead of Sunday's contest against Carolina. Through six regular-season games, Luvu has logged 39 tackles (21 solo), including 3.0 sacks, one pass defended, one forced fumble and two fumble recoveries.
