Commanders rule out Frankie Luvu and Chig Okonkwo for Cowboys game

The Commanders will be shorthanded on defense and at tight end Sunday in Dallas, with coach Dan Quinn ruling out linebacker Frankie Luvu (groin) and tight end Chig Okonkwo (hamstring) for Sunday's game against the Cowboys.\n\n

\n\nLuvu has been a focal point of Washington's defense this season, quarterbacking the linebacker corps behind a front that has made life difficult for opposing offenses through the early weeks. Okonkwo's absence thins the tight end room as well, a key part of the passing game. They join a growing Washington injury list ahead of the NFC East matchup, and Quinn confirmed both will not play, leaving the Commanders to adjust depth on both sides of the ball Sunday afternoon at AT&T Stadium.
