For the first time since he was acquired via trade earlier this month, cornerback Marshon Lattimore practiced for the Washington Commanders on Wednesday.
Sure, Lattimore was limited, but it was another positive sign that he was close to appearing in his first game for the Commanders. Lattimore has been dealing with a hamstring injury since before the New Orleans Saints traded him, which has caused him to miss multiple games, including all three since his arrival in Washington.
“We’re going to get some first shots at practice with him today and we’re really following a rigorous process with him,” head coach Dan Quinn said of Lattimore before Wednesday’s practice.
“And that’s not just with Marshon but especially with soft tissue injuries, and we got a great staff, and they’re working together also with him and the feedback that goes with it. And also keep him safe as well but we are pumped to get him back out in the field. They’re hard to predict, on soft tissue injuries and so it’ll be awesome to have him back out working into practice today.”
Here’s Lattimore in action, working with fellow cornerback Benjamin St-Juste.

The Commanders will want to see how Lattimore progresses this week before announcing his status for Sunday’s game against the Tennessee Titans.
