There was some belief that Marshon Lattimore would magically be healthy after the New Orleans Saints traded him to the Washington Commanders. This did not happen. Lattimore will miss at least one more game due to injury.

From a fan perspective, watching Lattimore line up against Pittsburgh Steelers wideout George Pickens would have been a fun matchup. A collateral benefit of this is he's given the opportunity to study the Commanders playbook for more than just a few days. Conspiracy would even say they're using a preexisting injury to give him extra time.

Questioning the legitimacy of Lattimore's injury isn't new. Dennis Allen and Lattimore had enough reported tension for some to wonder if Lattimore could have returned earlier from injury in past seasons.

The most recent hamstring injury came in the midst of a lengthy losing streak. The cornerback having to miss another week would suggest he is truly injured. This is the second time he's had to deal with a hamstring injury in 2024, and the injury is notoriously pesky.

But don't worry Saints fans. He'll be back in time for Dec. 15 when the Commanders come to New Orleans.
