Things appear to be shaping up for Marshon Lattimore to make his debut with the Washington Commanders 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 trade wasn’t overly surprising. There was apparent discontent between the parties, and Lattimore dealt with long-term injuries in recent seasons.
Lattimore had missed one game with the Saints due to a hamstring at the time of the trade. That one game has turned into five games after his move to Washington, but things are looking up for the cornerback.
This week was the first time Lattimore participated in practice. He still missed the Commanders’ Week 14 game versus the Titans, but it’s a sign he’s closer to returning to action.
The Commanders’ next game is against New Orleans, but first Washington has a bye week. This means Lattimore has two weeks to be physically ready to step on the field. By that point, it’ll be nearly two months since he injured his hamstring.
Many Saints fans circled this game after the trade, but it being Lattimore’s first game back is a surprise.
