Commanders Place Marshon Lattimore, Luke McCaffrey on Injured Reserve
The Commanders made significant roster changes on Tuesday by placing cornerback Marshon Lattimore and wide receiver Luke McCaffrey on injured reserve. These moves reflect the team’s challenges in maintaining player health during the season.
Key Roster Moves for the Commanders
Marshon Lattimore suffered a torn ACL during the Week 9 loss to the Seahawks. As a result, he will be sidelined for the remainder of the season. This injury leaves a notable gap in the team’s defense.
In addition to Lattimore, Luke McCaffrey has broken his collarbone, which will keep him out for an extended period. The combination of these injuries significantly impacts the Commanders’ offensive strategies.
Recent Team Developments
Despite these setbacks, the Commanders are looking to reinforce their roster. Reports indicate that the team plans to sign wide receiver Treylon Burks from their practice squad. This addition aims to help fill the void left by McCaffrey’s injury.
Injury Status Update
- Marshon Lattimore: Torn ACL, out for the season.
- Luke McCaffrey: Broken collarbone, extended recovery time expected.
- Jayden Daniels: Dislocated left elbow, not on injured reserve but recovery timeline unclear.
The injuries of key players, particularly Lattimore and McCaffrey, underscore the Commanders’ ongoing battle with player availability this season. The situation remains fluid as the team seeks to navigate these challenges effectively.
