Benjamin St-Juste said what every Commanders fan feels about Marshon Lattimore return

There was an enormous sense of excitement on Wednesday as standout cornerback Marshon Lattimore took to the practice field for the first time since his high-profile trade. This is a timely boost for the struggling Washington Commanders, who are in the midst of a three-game losing slump at the worst possible moment.

The Commanders took their time with Lattimore. He suffered a hamstring issue on the New Orleans Saints that needed the correct rehabilitation. Although it's been frustrating for fans, the coaching staff were right to be ultra-cautious to avoid further complications down the line.

Head coach Dan Quinn revealed last week that Lattimore was nearing a return. Last weekend's embarrassing loss to the Dallas Cowboys came too soon. If everything checks out in the coming days and there are no lingering issues, the former first-round pick out of Ohio State could make his long-awaited debut against the Tennessee Titans at Northwest Stadium.

Commanders thrilled to welcome Marshon Lattimore back from injury

This is going to be a major boost for everyone involved. Something recognized by fellow cornerback Benjamin St-Juste, who's hoping Lattimore's introduction can inspire a turnaround in fortunes to get Washington's postseason quest back on track.

It's really, really good honestly. Didn't really have a timetable at first when he first got here on when he's going to come back, but [it's great] to see him making a lot of progress, and it looks like he's about to go on the field with us. That's all we need, especially right now as we're getting to that last stretch of the season, we need every piece. Offense, defense, and special teams coming together, and go on a nice run. So good to have him back.Benjamin St-Juste
