Washington Commanders head coach Dan Quinn announced Friday that cornerback Marshon Lattimore will not make his debut in their Week 12 matchup with the Dallas Cowboys this Sunday — meaning the former Pro Bowler will have missed his first three games with his new team since he was traded from New Orleans Saints at the NFL trade deadline.

And Washington has lost each of their first two games since trading Lattimore. They fell to Pittsburgh 28-27 and were knocked out by the division rival Philadelphia Eagles 26-18. The Commanders gave up 746 yards across those two games, so they could have used Lattimore’s help. But a nagging hamstring injury has kept him on the sidelines since October 27.

Quinn added that while he’s optimistic Lattimore could play in Week 13 against the Tennessee Titans, it’s too early to say for sure he’ll be ready to go. If he misses that game as well, there’s a good chance Lattimore won’t make his Commanders debut until after their Week 14 bye — meaning he’d be in line to play against his old team , when Washington visits the Saints in Week 15. Stay tuned.
