Lucas (ankle) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Steelers.
Lucas was held out of practice all week and is now in line to miss his second consecutive game due to an ankle injury sustained in Washington's Week 8 win over the Bears. Trent Scott will likely serve as the Commanders' top backup tackle in Lucas' stead.

Lucas (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Giants, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.
Lucas hurt his ankle in last Sunday's win over the Bears and didn't play after the third quarter.
