Commanders CB Lattimore feeling 'way better'
Commanders CB Marshon Lattimore Feel 'Way Better' and hopes to Return to Previous Pro Bowl FormIn a moment of unexpected clarity, Commanders wide receiver Marshon Lattimore felt himself take a significant step forward. While he was hampered by an injury that plagued him last season, this week saw the team address the issue head-on. Lattimore, who had missed the Pro Bowl due to his injury, is poised to return and return to his previous Pro Bowl form.
Lattimore's Progress and Adjustments
Last season, Lattimore was injured during a game in December when he collided with a team-mate while running on the defense. Despite efforts to play in Week 5, he wasn’t selected for the Pro Bowl. However, the Commanders adjusted their starting lineup this week, opting for Marshon instead of running back David Quiney. The decision was made to address the injury and allow Lattimore to develop into a solid offensive receiver.
Lattimore's Recent Performance
In Week 5, Lattimore showed signs of improvement. He attempted in three games but didn’t play one due to an injury. However, he still managed to make contact with the line at tight ends and was active enough to be considered for the next game. His ability to cover against opposing defenses was a key factor in his success.
Return Plans
The Commanders are optimistic about Lattimore's recovery. They know that missing Marshon will impact their offense, particularly as they seek to compete with a shaky defense and a strong nickel-backery group. However, the team is prepared for whatever comes next, especially given Lattimore’s ability to make contact and handle pressure.
Team Dynamics
Lattimore's return could have a significant impact on the Commanders' success. While he has shown flashes of potential, his role as an offensive receiver will require careful management. The Commanders are confident in their ability to adapt to this change and find new ways to execute their offense.
Conclusion
Marshon Lattimore’s situation is a reminder that even with injuries, talent can develop on the field. As the Commanders work to make a deep run for the season title, they will be watching closely as Lattimore navigates his recovery and returns to his previous form. With the right approach, Lattimore has the potential to turn this around and make an impact on the team’s success.
