Commanders rule out Luvu and Okonkwo for Sunday against Cowboys

The Washington Commanders will not have starting linebacker Frankie Luvu and tight end Chig Okonkwo for their Week 2 matchup against the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday. Luvu strained his groin during the previous week's game against the Philadelphia Eagles, while Okonkwo is dealing with a hamstring injury. Head coach Dan Quinn indicated that both injuries do not appear to be long-term. The Commanders will look to adjust their lineup, as players Ben Sinnott and Colson Yankoff are expected to step into larger roles to compensate for Okonkwo's absence. Luvu's absence could impact the team's defensive energy and blitzing schemes, with Ale Kaho potentially elevated to provide depth at linebacker.
