The Washington Commanders will be without cornerback Marshon Lattimore for Thursday night’s NFC East showdown against the Philadelphia Eagles. However, Washington could be getting a top offensive starter back for Thursday.
Head coach Dan Quinn said the Commanders increased Robinson’s work in practice, which he handled well. Washington’s final injury report will be released later on Wednesday, with Robinson likely being listed as questionable again. Recently, the Commanders listed him as questionable and tested him on the field ahead of the game before ruling him out.
Robinson sounded positive about his chances of playing with reporters.

Quinn also discussed offensive tackles Andrew Wylie and Cornelius Lucas, saying both did a “good job” during Wednesday’s practice. Lucas missed the previous two games due to an ankle injury. Before the injury, he’d rotated with rookie Brandon Coleman at left, where both have played well. If Lucas plays, he’s likely back as Washington’s swing tackle.
Wylie was ruled out of Sunday’s game against the Steelers but appears on track to return against the Eagles. Trent Scott started in his place at right tackle.
