"Before the 2025 season began, most fans and analysts believed that the Washington Commanders' cornerback unit was going to be among the team's biggest strengths. This was primarily down to four-time Pro Bowler Marshon Lattimore making a full recovery from his lingering hamstring problem. It's still early days, but it's going to be a long road ahead for the corners and Lattimore to meet these expectations."
"If anything, the cornerback group has become a weak link. They are getting almost no consistent help from the safeties, and it's showing. Jonathan Jones and Will Harris are on injured reserve. Mike Sainristil hasn't hit his phenomenal rookie heights, and second-round pick Trey Amos is going through some expected first-year growing pains. As for Lattimore? He's the crumbling Commanders cornerstone who is vanishing at the worst possible time."
The Washington Commanders entered 2025 expecting a strong cornerback unit anchored by Marshon Lattimore's recovery. Early results show the cornerbacks underperforming and becoming a team weakness. Safeties have provided almost no consistent help, with Jonathan Jones and Will Harris on injured reserve. Mike Sainristil has regressed from his rookie form, and second-round pick Trey Amos is experiencing typical first-year growing pains. Lattimore has shown some promise but is struggling with pre-snap motions, speed issues, diminished explosiveness, and technical flaws. Confidence persists from Lattimore and some coaches, but consistent, improved play remains elusive.
