Quinton Dunbar missed out on the Redskins' wins over the Cowboys and Giants, but the fourth-year corner says he's "determined" to get back on the field Sunday against the Falcons.
Quinton Dunbar just told me he’s determined to come back this week. He says it hasn’t been frustrating to watch because Stroman playing helps build depth, but Atlanta might be the best offense they’ll play all year. He thinks he can get back.

October 29, 2018 Dunbar was off to a great start, setting a new career high with 29 total tackles — in addition to five passes defended and an interception — through the first five games, but has been sidelined the past two weeks due to a nerve issue previously believed to be in his shin.
However, Dunbar told NBC Sports Washington's J.P. Finlay the problem is in fact affecting his hamstring.
Talked w Quinton Dunbar - nerve issue is actually in his hamstring, not his shin. He says it’s getting better and he expects to play vs Atlanta

October 29, 2018 The Redskins could certainly use the return of Dunbar to the secondary with the high-flying Atlanta offense looming on Sunday.
