Marshon Lattimore injury blow sums up Commanders' train wreck season
Marshon Lattimore was not enjoying the most profitable evening at the office against the Seattle Seahawks, and he wasn't alone. But even when the Washington Commanders' cornerback made his one good play on the night, it came with a heavy price attached.
And it could be yet another body blow to a roster decimated by injuries through the first half of the 2025 campaign.
Lattimore was finding life difficult. He gave up a couple of lofty completions and was also called for his customary defensive pass interference penalty in the first half. The former Ohio State standout broke up one pass, but he was seen hobbling to the sidelines immediately after.
Marshon Lattimore is the latest Commanders injury problem to worry about
After some checks on the sideline, Lattimore was ruled out for the remainder of the contest with a knee injury. He cut a dejected figure on the sidelines, getting embraced by his teammates and walking back to the locker room with a towel over his head.
More information will be coming, but this doesn't exactly paint the most promising picture.
Lattimore's bombshell arrival via trade from the New Orleans Saints before the 2024 deadline has been an unmitigated disaster. He was hurt most of last season with a hamstring problem. The shutdown presence Washington thought it was buying hasn't shown up. And if he's forced to miss an extended period, one has to ask whether the Ohio State product will be part of the team's plans next season.
Releasing or trading Lattimore saves $18 million on Washington's salary cap. Adam Peters, who gave up considerable assets to secure the player's services, might decide to cut this experiment short and spend the money elsewhere. There is just no telling for sure right now, but it's becoming more likely than ever.
The Commanders will be hoping for good news on Lattimore's health. But looking at how things have unfolded with Quinn's squad thus far, fans should expect the worst and hope for the best.
Shilo Sanders Credits His Mom for Fostering His Music Skills Which May Be His New Career if Not NFL
Neither Shedeur nor Shilo Sanders has achieved the success many envisioned for them in the NFL. Shedeur’s unprecedented draft slide left him as Cleveland’s QB3, and Shilo is no longer in the league.
Months after being waived by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers following his preseason ejection against the Buffalo Bills, the 25-year-old safety remains unsigned. But if there’s one thing Shilo isn’t doing, it’s sulking.
Right after his exit, the 25-year-old safety reflected on his NFL setback with surprising optimism. “I’m grateful for the opportunity Tampa gave me… God’s blessed me with a lot of talents to do other things other than play football. If this path doesn’t work out, I’ll be fine. I’ve got acting, modeling, music… things I’ve loved my whole life,”
🔥 Heartfelt. Shilo Opens Up About His Mother's Impact on His Life 💛
"She had a great impact. Everything off the field was my mom. Music, acting, modelling, even the streaming. She bought my first keyboard. I wouldn't be who I am today"https://t.co/VKkIHZGYmT pic.twitter.com/zBIKiumLVT — JaKi 🇺🇸 (@JaKiTruth) November 2, 2025
That mindset is one his father, Deion Sanders, preaches as well. “I’ve always told my kids to be well-rounded… Football is a blessing, but it’s not the only thing. Shilo’s got options,”
Well, those non-football options are quickly becoming a reality. From making headlines every other week with his streaming and YouTube vlogs to releasing his debut 15-track album
That said, it turns out that while Deion Sanders may have passed on the athletic fire, Shilo says his creative side comes from his mom, Pilar Sanders. In a recent interview, he credited her for shaping much of what defines his off-field identity.
“She had a great impact, you know. My dad was more about sports… we got some good genetics from my mom also… But just everything off the field was my mom. Music, acting, modelling, even doing the streams… she’s been telling me to stream since I was like 15 years old… She bought my first keyboard,”
He also went on to recall how she pushed him into music long before football fame ever came calling:
“When I was younger, she forced me and Shedeur into piano lessons. I used to be crying, like, ‘I don’t want piano lessons — I want football practice!’ But without that, I wouldn’t be who I am today.”
This blend of discipline and creativity seems to be paying off as his YouTube channel currently has 237K subscribers with his vlogs routinely hitting 100K+ views, and his music is beginning to carve out a small but loyal fan base.
So, whether or not the NFL calls again, Shilo Sanders looks content creating his own path, all thanks to his mother’s influence and father’s support. Who knows, maybe he will end up being the biggest NFL streamer in the country in a few years. With his drive and network, there’s no reason to doubt it.
