Production dips in 2025 Luvu recorded 86 tackles (42 solo), including 3.0 sacks, while adding six passes defensed and two forced fumbles in 2025.

Impact Luvu started all 17 regular-season games for a third consecutive season but recorded his lowest totals for tackles and sacks since the 2021 campaign. The 29-year-old linebacker appears to be on the downslope of his career, so the Commanders may consider cutting Luvu prior to the 2026 campaign for a $6.9 million cap penalty rather than absorbing the full $11.3 million cap hit from the final year of his three-year, $31 million deal.

Registers seven stops Christmas Day Luvu recorded seven tackles (three solo) and one pass defense during the Commanders' 30-23 loss to the Cowboys on Thursday.

Impact Luvu joined Will Harris and Bobby Wagner as the three Commanders defenders to play all 92 snaps during their Christmas Day loss. The eighth-year pro is up to 85 combined tackles through 16 regular-season games, and he would need a big day against the Eagles in Week 18 in order to reach the tackling century mark for the third time in his NFL career.

Upgrades to full practice Thursday Luvu (shoulder) was a full practice participant Thursday.

Impact 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.

Sits out Wednesday's practice Luvu (shoulder) didn't participate in Washington's practice Wednesday.

Impact 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.

Cleared to play Week 13 Luvu (shoulder) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday night's game against the Broncos, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.

Impact Luvu was limited in practice Wednesday and Thursday but got in a full session Friday. The veteran linebacker has recorded 58 tackles (28 solo), including 2.0 sacks, and three pass breakups on 96 percent of the defensive snaps this season.

Limited to begin week Luvu (shoulder) logged a limited practice Wednesday.

Impact Luvu began preparation for a Week 11 matchup against the Dolphins in similar fashion but was ultimately able to suit up. That suggests he'll be able to play Sunday night against the Broncos, though his status should become clearer as the week progresses.

Cleared to face Dolphins Luvu (shoulder) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Dolphins.

Impact Luvu was a limited participant in practice Wednesday and Thursday but upgraded to full participation Friday to avoid an injury designation for Sunday's game in Madrid. The starting linebacker has 53 tackles (28 solo) this season.

Dealing with shoulder issue Luvu (shoulder) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday.

Impact Luvu played a healthy 60 defensive snaps in Week 10 versus the Lions, and it's not clear when he picked up the shoulder injury. He'll have two more chances to participate fully at practice before the Commanders release their final practice report of the week Friday.

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.

Impact 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.
