Luvu has been dealing with a shoulder issue since mid-November but hasn't missed any games due to the injury. He was limited in practice Wednesday, but his ability to log a full session Thursday suggests the veteran linebacker will be ready to line up in his usual starting role against the Vikings on Sunday.

Commanders' Frankie Luvu: Sits out Wednesday's practice
Luvu (shoulder) didn't participate in Washington's practice Wednesday.
Luvu managed to play through his shoulder injury in the Week 13 loss to the Broncos, so his absence from practice is likely precautionary. The 29-year-old has totaled 62 tackles (29 solo), including 3.0 sacks, across 12 outings and will look to add to his totals in Sunday's game versus Minnesota.

Commanders' Frankie Luvu: Will no longer be suspended
Luvu had his one-game suspension reduced by the NFL to a $100,000 fine Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
The league had originally handed Luvu a one-game suspension for "repeated violations of playing rules intended to protect the health and safety of players," which was tied to the multiple illegal hip-drop tackles he has performed this season. Luvu elected to appeal the punishment, and, upon further consideration, the suspension has been reduced to a fine. That means Luvu will be able to suit up in Week 10 against Detroit, and he should take on his usual starting role that has led to the linebacker playing every defensive snap in five of Washington's nine games so far this season.

Commanders' Frankie Luvu: Served one-game suspension
The NFL has suspended Luvu for one game for "repeated violations of playing rules intended to protect the health and safety of players," Brian McCarthy of NFL.com reports.
Luvu has been cited by the league for doing the banned hip-drop tackle three times this season, one of which occurred during Sunday's 38-14 loss to the Seahawks. He was fined for the two prior incidents before being suspended by the league Monday, but the veteran linebacker intends to appeal the suspension, per Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post. If Luvu's suspension is upheld, then Jordan Magee and Jacob Martin would be the top candidates to start against the Lions in Week 10.

Commanders' Frankie Luvu: Just two tackles against Green Bay
Luvu finished Thursday's 27-18 loss to the Packers with two assisted tackles.
Luvu played all 68 defensive snaps Thursday, but that extra time on the field didn't translate to the box score. It's just the fourth time in 19 regular-season games since Week 1 of the 2024 season that he has logged two total tackles or less. Next up for Luvu and the Commanders is a home bout against the Raiders on Sunday, Sept. 21.
