Lattimore and Robinson are dealing with hamstring injuries and will not play against the Steelers.
On Tuesday, the Commanders acquired Lattimore in a trade with the New Orleans Saints. The Commanders traded a third-round pick, a fourth-round pick, and a sixth-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft to the Saints for Lattimore and a 2025 fifth-rounder.
Lattimore has missed two games this season with a hamstring. However, Washington hopes Lattimore can bolster this secondary as they make a push toward the playoffs.
Robinson, who has missed two games this year, leads the Commanders in rushing yards (461) and rushing touchdowns (6).
In Robinson’s absence, the Commanders will rely on Austin Ekeler and Jeremy McNichols.
