Commanders CB Marshon Lattimore will not play vs. Steelers

Washington Commanders head coach Dan Quinn met with the media for a final time Friday before Sunday’s game against the Pittsburgh Steelers and offered an update on newly acquired cornerback Marshon Lattimore. Quinn unsurprisingly announced that Lattimore would not play in his first game since coming over from the New Orleans Saints.

Washington traded for Lattimore on Tuesday at the NFL trade deadline. He arrived in time for practice on Wednesday, but did not practice this week. Lattimore was on the field with teammates, giving instructions on technique to other corners, such as Benjamin St-Juste.

The Commanders knew Lattimore was dealing with a hamstring issue before trade as he missed the Saints’ Week 9 game last week. However, it doesn’t appear to be a long-term issue.

Washington could be taking it easy with Lattimore ahead of Sunday and hoping he’s ready for next Thursday’s NFC East showdown with the second-place Philadelphia Eagles. The Eagles have a more dangerous offense than the Steelers, especially at wide receiver with A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith.

St-Juste, Mike Sainristil, Noah Igbinoghene will continue to be Washington’s top cornerbacks in Week 10. Emmanuel Forbes also remains in the mix.
