Commanders' Marshon Lattimore: Ready to start Week 15
Rotowire
Commanders head coach Dan Quinn said Friday that Lattimore will start Sunday's game against the Saints, Zach Selby of the Commanders' official site reports.
Lattimore will start his first game for Washington since being acquired via trade from New Orleans back on Nov. 5. The veteran corner has been held out of action due to a hamstring injury for just over a month, but it appears that he's ready to handle a full starting workload versus his former team Sunday.

Rotowire
Lattimore (hamstring) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice.
Lattimore has yet to play for Washington since being traded from the Saints on Nov. 5, but his full practice session Wednesday suggests he's recovered from his hamstring injury in time to make his Commanders debut against his former team in Week 15. With Lattimore back at full health, he's expected to serve as one of Washington's starting outside cornerbacks Sunday.

Commanders' Marshon Lattimore: Limited Wednesday
Rotowire
Lattimore (hamstring) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.
The veteran cornerback practiced in a limited capacity for the first time since being traded from the Saints to the Commanders on Nov. 5, suggesting he may be nearing a return to the field. Lattimore could help bolster Washington's secondary, having recorded 30 total tackles and two passes defended in seven appearances this season. His practice participation Thursday and Friday will offer the best insight into whether he can make his Commanders debut in a Week 13 matchup against the Titans.

Commanders' Marshon Lattimore: Opens week as DNP
Rotowire
Lattimore (hamstring) didn't practice Wednesday.
Head coach Dan Quinn told reporters Monday that he's "hopeful" Lattimore can return to practice this week, making Wednesday's DNP a disappointing start. The 2017 first-round pick will almost certainly need to upgrade to at least limited work Thursday or Friday in order to make his Commanders debut in Week 12, when the Cowboys travel to Washington.

Commanders' Marshon Lattimore: DNP on Monday's estimation
Rotowire
Lattimore (hamstring) was listed as a non-participant on Monday's practice estimation.
Lattimore has been sidelined since aggravating his hamstring injury in Week 8 while still with the Saints, and Wednesday's DNP is a sign that he could be in danger of missing Thursday night's matchup against the Eagles. The veteran cornerback will likely need to progress to at least limited participation Tuesday or Wednesday in order to make his Commanders debut in Week 11.

Commanders' Marshon Lattimore: Won't play this week
Rotowire
Lattimore (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Pittsburgh, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.
The recent trade acquisition didn't play Week 9 for the Saints and now will miss Week 10 with the Commanders. Washington traded a 2025 third-round pick, 2025 fourth-rounder and 2025 sixth-rounder this Tuesday in exchange for Lattimore and a 2025 fifth-round selection. Once he's healthy, he'll presumably be one of the team's starting perimeter cornerbacks, which could mean Mike Sainristil moves back to the slot.

Lattimore (hamstring) did not participate at practice Wednesday, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.

Saints' Marshon Lattimore: Won't play in Week 9
Rotowire
Head coach Dennis Allen said Friday that Lattimore (hamstring) won't play in Sunday's matchup against the Panthers.
Lattimore aggravated his hamstring injury in the Saints' Week 8 loss to the Chargers and was unable to practice all week, making it no surprise that he's been ruled out ahead of Sunday's divisional matchup. The Saints will be thin at cornerback in Week 9 with Lattimore, Kool-Aid McKinstry (hamstring), Paulson Adebo (upper leg) and Rejzohn Wright (undisclosed) all sidelined.

Saints' Marshon Lattimore: Will not return Sunday
Rotowire
Lattimore (hamstring) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Chargers, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.
Lattimore suffered a hamstring injury in Week 7 against the Broncos, and while he was cleared to play Sunday, it appears he may have aggravated the injury and he'll end his day with two solo tackles. Kool-Aid McKinstry and Alontae Taylor are the Saints' only healthy corners for the rest of Sunday's game.

Saints' Marshon Lattimore: Avoids serious injury
Rotowire
Head coach Dennis Allen told reporters Friday that Lattimore will be fine after sustaining a hamstring injury in Thursday night's loss to the Broncos, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.
The Pro Bowl cornerback played 47 defensive snaps and recorded four total tackles before leaving the Saints' Week 7 loss to the Broncos due to a hamstring injury. However, Allen's comments Friday suggest Lattimore avoided a serious injury. Lattimore's practice participation throughout next week will be the best indication of whether he can play through his hamstring issue moving forward.

Saints' Marshon Lattimore: Good to go for Week 3
Rotowire
Lattimore (hamstring) was a full participant in Friday's practice and does not carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Eagles, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.
Lattimore sustained a hamstring injury Week 1 against the Panthers, which forced him to sit out for the Saints' Week 2 win over the Cowboys. The 2017 first-round pick was limited in the first two sessions of the week, but he was able to practice without restrictions Friday. Barring any setbacks, Lattimore should return to his starting corner job opposite Paulson Adebo for Sunday's contest.

Saints' Marshon Lattimore: Back on field Wednesday
Rotowire
Lattimore (hamstring) was a limited participant during Wednesday's practice session.
Lattimore sustained the hamstring injury in Week 1 against the Panthers. He was unable to play Sunday versus the Cowboys after missing all three practices leading up to the game, so the fact that he was able to practice in a limited capacity Wednesday bodes well for his chances of playing against the Eagles in Week 3. Lattimore will have two more chances this week to increase his participation in practice.

Saints' Marshon Lattimore: Works with trainers Tuesday
Rotowire
Lattimore (hip) worked on the sidelines with trainers at Tuesday's practice, Mike Triplett of NewOrleans.Football reports.
Tuesday marked the first time Lattimore has been on the field since he sustained a hip injury during practice in late July. The 2017 first-round corner is a key piece in the secondary, so the Saints will continue to be cautious with his injury and have the four-time Pro Bowl corner ready for Week 1 against the Panthers on Sept. 8. Lattimore appeared in the first 10 regular-season games last year before suffering a season-ending high-ankle sprain in Week 10 against Minnesota. He finished 2023 with 48 tackles (39 solo), eight passes defended and one interception.

Rotowire
Lattimore left practice Friday due to an issue with a hip flexor, John Hendrix of SI.com reports.
The severity of the injury is unknown at this point, but New Orleans will want to exercise an abundance of caution with its four-time Pro Bowler regardless. Until Lattimore can come back, Paulson Adebo figures to work as the Saints' top corner during team drills.

Saints' Marshon Lattimore: Expected to remain in New Orleans
Rotowire
Saints head coach Dennis Allen said Wednesday that Lattimore (ankle) will be on the roster in 2024, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.
Lattimore missed the final seven games of the 2023 campaign due to an ankle injury, but he appears to have moved past the issue. The four-time Pro Bowl cornerback has been in trade rumors as of late, but after Allen's "positive conversation" with Lattimore, the cornerback is expected to remain in New Orleans in 2024. Lattimore will presumably be the Saints' top cornerback once again and will be joined in the secondary by Paulson Adebo and 2024 second-round pick Kool-Aid McKinstry (foot).

Lattimore missed the final seven games of the year while on IR with an ankle issue, and he's now appeared in 17 games across the last two regular seasons.
