Washington Commanders cornerback Marshon Lattimore left Sunday’s 38-14 loss to the Seattle Seahawks after suffering a left knee injury in the third quarter. According to NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo, Lattimore might have torn his ACL, a significant injury that could potentially sideline him for the remainder of the season.
The team’s fans were left disappointed and frustrated as another key player went down. Luke McCaffrey broke his collarbone on the game’s opening play, and later in the fourth quarter, Jayden Daniels dislocated his left elbow after a sack, forcing him to be helped off the field.
Fans took to social media to express their frustration. One wrote, “And the hits keep coming. #RaiseHail.” Another offered a more somber comment, saying, “There’s only one explanation for this. Occam’s Razor. God hates the Commanders.” The sentiment was echoed by others, with one fan noting, “So 3 potential season-ending injuries from last night,” while another lamented, “Season straight from hell, the darkest pits of hell.” Others questioned team strategy: “So, he’s off the trade block. Washington can’t catch a break,” and “Commanders better gut the vets off this roster,” one fan tweeted.
Lattimore has recorded 27 tackles and seven passes defensed in nine games this season. However, his performance has been below his career standards, yielding 14.8 yards per completion and an 84.9 passer rating when targeted. The Commanders’ pass defense ranks among the worst in the league, allowing 253.6 yards per game.
### Injuries Raise Serious Questions for the Commanders
The Washington Commanders’ playoff chances took a major hit after multiple starters sustained injuries in Sunday’s loss to the Seattle Seahawks. These setbacks leave significant gaps across the roster.
Jayden Daniels’ absence removes much-needed mobility and leadership from the offense, forcing Washington to rely on backup options. Marshon Lattimore’s injury further weakens an already inconsistent secondary that has struggled to contain top receivers. Luke McCaffrey’s loss limits both passing options and special teams’ performance.
Compounding these problems, star receiver Terry McLaurin missed the game due to a lingering quad injury, and Noah Brown remains on injured reserve with a groin issue. On the defensive side, the Commanders are also without key players including Dorance Armstrong, Deatrich Wise, and Javontae Jean-Baptiste, all of whom are likely out for the season.
Earlier in Week 2, running back Austin Ekeler suffered a season-ending Achilles tear, and safety Will Harris is currently on injured reserve with a fractured fibula.
With Washington running low on healthy players, the team faces a tough road ahead as they try to stay competitive in the NFC. The challenge intensifies as they prepare to face the Detroit Lions next week.
