Just when the Detroit Lions thought they might catch a break heading into Week 10, the NFL threw them a curveball. Washington Commanders linebacker Frankie Luvu, who was originally suspended, has had his punishment rescinded — meaning he’ll suit up against Detroit this Sunday.
It’s a gut punch for a Lions team already looking to bounce back from a frustrating divisional loss. Luvu has been a force for the Commanders’ defense this season, known for his speed, instincts, and ability to disrupt both the run and the pass. His return instantly upgrades Washington’s front seven and gives their defense a noticeable edge heading into a must-win matchup.
For Detroit, it’s one more obstacle in what’s shaping up to be a crucial game in the NFC playoff race. If the Lions want to reclaim their early-season momentum, they’ll need to find a way to neutralize Luvu’s impact — fast.
