The Washington Commanders (7-2), sitting atop the NFC East, are set to host the Pittsburgh Steelers (6-2) at Northwest Stadium in a critical Week 10 showdown. Washington, aiming to extend its lead in the division, bolstered its defense with the acquisition of cornerback Marshon Lattimore just before the trade deadline. However, Lattimore's status remains questionable as he continues to manage a hamstring injury.
Washington's recent acquisition of cornerback Marshon Lattimore from the New Orleans Saints aimed to solidify its already stout secondary. However, Lattimore's availability remains in question due to a nagging hamstring injury. The Commanders' secondary, allowing only 183.3 passing yards per game, could benefit from his expertise if he's cleared to play.

Lattimore, with seven games under his belt this season, brings a track record of reliability, boasting 30 tackles and two pass breakups. Washington remains cautious with his recovery; though he passed his physical, the Commanders opted to limit his practice participation. Head coach Dan Quinn emphasized the need to ensure Lattimore is confident and fully recovered before returning to full-contact drills.
The Steelers, led by veteran quarterback Russell Wilson, will look to test the Commanders' defense regardless of Lattimore's status. With both teams on a roll, this Week 10 matchup is set to be a high-stakes affair, testing depth, resilience, and readiness as they battle for positioning in a competitive NFL season.
