Marshon Lattimore Returns to Practice with Commanders

Marshon Lattimore, recently acquired by the Washington Commanders, practiced for the first time since his trade from the New Orleans Saints, though he is doubtful for the upcoming game against the Tennessee Titans due to a hamstring injury. Lattimore's last appearance was in Week 8, and he has been aiming to bolster a struggling Commanders defense that has faced challenges, ranking low in several defensive metrics. Despite his limited participation in practice, head coach Dan Quinn expressed optimism about Lattimore's return, emphasizing a cautious approach to his recovery. The Commanders are currently on a three-game losing streak, sitting at 7-5, and hope Lattimore can help turn their fortunes around as they look to stay in playoff contention. With a bye week following the Titans game, Lattimore's next chance to play could be against his former team in New Orleans on December 15. The Commanders' defense has been underperforming, making Lattimore's potential return critical for their playoff aspirations.
