Commanders in injury hell with Marshon Lattimore ‘feared to have suffered ACL tear’ after Jayden Daniels blow
Washington Commanders cornerback Marshon Lattimore is feared to have torn his ACL in Sunday’s loss to the Seattle Seahawks.
According to NFL insider Ian Rapoport, Lattimore – who left the game in Washington early – is set to undergo an MRI scan to confirm the full extent of his injury.
If the scan indeed confirms an ACL tear, the 29-year-old will spend between six to nine months on the sidelines after undergoing surgery.
It will also mark another serious blow for the Commanders from Sunday’s game after quarterback Jayden Daniels also suffered a gruesome elbow injury in the defeat.
Daniels dislocated his elbow as he attempted to run in a consolation touchdown, an X-ray has confirmed, meaning he will also undergo an MRI on Monday to determine exactly how long he will be out for.
As linebacker Drake Thomas brought him down, the 2024 NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year put his left arm down to break his fall but dislocated it in the process and was helped off the field wearing a padded brace.
While it appeared his season was over, that may now not be the case after Rapoport reported that the belief is his injury is not as bad as it could have been.
And fortunately for Daniels, the injury did not occur to his throwing arm.
