Luvu recorded 10 tackles (six solo) including 2.0 sacks during Thursday's 26-18 loss at Philadelphia. One of Luvu's sacks in Week 11 came when he perfectly diagnosed an attempt at a flea flicker early in the second quarter and single-handedly blew it up. His 7.0 sacks on the season are already tied for a career-high total with six games still remaining to play. He's solidly on the IDP radar ahead of a Week 12 matchup versus the Cowboys.

Luvu recorded 10 tackles (six solo) including 2.0 sacks during Thursday's 26-18 loss at Philadelphia. One of Luvu's sacks in Week 11 came when he perfectly diagnosed an attempt at a flea flicker early in the second quarter and single-handedly blew it up. His 7.0 sacks on the season are already tied for a career-high total with six games still remaining to play. He's solidly on the IDP radar ahead of a Week 12 matchup versus the Cowboys.
Luvu recorded seven tackles (three solo), including 1.0 sacks, in Sunday's 28-27 loss to the Steelers. The outside linebacker also played on every defensive snap for the third game in a row and the fifth time in 10 games this season. Luvu has 61 tackles (30 solo), including 5.0 sacks, two passes defensed, a forced fumble and two fumble recoveries in 2024.
Luvu (shin) does not carry an injury designation into Sunday's matchup with the Giants, Ralph Vacchiano of Fox Sports reports. Luvu was absent from practice for the team's first two sessions of the week due to a shin issue, but he did return to log a limited practice Friday. The linebacker's participation was apparently enough for him to be ready to go for Week 9 versus New York.
Luvu (shin) didn't practice Wednesday, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports. Luvu played 100.0 percent of the Commanders' defensive snaps and recorded six total tackles in Sunday's win over the Bears; however, it appears he picked up a shin injury in the process. The first-year Commander will likely need to upgrade to at least limited participation either Thursday or Friday in order to suit up in Week 9, when Washington faces the Giants.
Luvu recorded four total tackles (two solo), including 1.0 sacks and an additional tackle for loss, in Sunday's 40-7 win over the Panthers. Luvu signed a three-year, $36 million contract with the Commanders this past offseason after posting a monster 2023 campaign in Carolina, where he recorded 125 total tackles, including 5.5 sacks, forced two fumbles and defended five passes across 17 regular-season games. The 28-year-old made an impact in the first matchup against his former team, as he was one of two Commanders to sack Andy Dalton. Luvu has now tallied 41 total tackles, including 4.0 sacks, one forced fumble and one pass defended through Washington's first seven games. He's expected to continue being a problem for opposing offenses as the Commanders take on the Bears in Week 8.
Luvu (toe) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Panthers, John Keim of ESPN.com reports. Luvu upgraded from a DNP on Thursday to a full practice session Friday, suggesting that he's moved past his toe injury. The Washington State product has logged 39 total tackles, including 3.0 sacks, and defended one pass across the Commanders' first six games. He's expected to start opposite Dante Fowler as part of Washington's top outside-linebacker duo in Week 7.
Luvu (toe) was a non-participant at Thursday's practice. Luvu practiced in limited fashion to kick off the week Wednesday, so he is seemingly trending in the wrong direction. He played every single snap for the Commanders in Week 6, so a potential absence would certainly be felt. Should he not be able to recover in time for Sunday's game against the Panthers, Mykal Walker would presumably be next-in-line at outside linebacker.
Luvu (toe) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice. Luvu played every single defensive snap and logged two tackles (one solo) during the Commanders' Week 6 loss to the Ravens, but he may have injured his toe in the process. The 28-year-old will have two more practices to increase his participation and avoid an injury designation ahead of Sunday's contest against Carolina. Through six regular-season games, Luvu has logged 39 tackles (21 solo), including 3.0 sacks, one pass defended, one forced fumble and two fumble recoveries.
Luvu logged seven tackles (four solo), with 2.5 sacks, and a fumble recovery Sunday in Washington's win over the Browns. Luvu had his best game of the season Sunday as he led the Commanders in both tackles and sacks. The 28-year-old will look to build off this dominant outing and produce again next week versus the Ravens.
