The Washington Commanders just received a massive update ahead of their Week 10 matchup against the Detroit Lions — and it involves one of their defensive cornerstones, linebacker Frankie Luvu.
After facing possible league discipline for an on-field incident, Luvu’s availability for the upcoming game was in serious question. But according to reports, the NFL has decided to reduce his punishment to a hefty $100,000 fine, allowing him to play Sunday against Detroit.
That’s a huge sigh of relief for the Commanders’ defense. Luvu has been one of their most consistent playmakers this season, leading the charge with intensity, leadership, and an ability to wreck plays in the backfield. Without him, Washington’s defense would’ve been at a serious disadvantage against a Detroit team desperate to bounce back from its recent struggles.
For the Lions, Luvu’s presence means Jared Goff and the offensive line will have their hands full with a fierce pass rusher capable of disrupting their rhythm early and often. With both teams fighting to regain ground in their respective playoff pushes, this game just got a whole lot more intense.
