Commanders vs. Giants injury report: WR corps in trouble with Stefon Diggs out, Terry McLaurin questionable

The Washington Commanders' receivers corps faces a major setback with key player Stefon Diggs ruled out for Sunday's game against the New York Giants due to a hamstring injury. Head coach Dan Quinn conveyed the news during a press conference on Friday. In a positive turn of events, Terry McLaurin, who suffered a hamstring injury in the team's previous practice in London, was able to practice on Friday and appeared fit in a workout.

The Commanders officially listed McLaurin as question on their injury report. The veteran had missed the Week 4 game against the Colts due to the same hamstring injury.

Adding to the Commanders' injury woes, safety Nick Cross, who was hospitalized for internal injuries after the team's game against the Dallas Cowboys, is ruled out. Cross had suffered from an illness earlier. Furthermore, safeties Percy Butler and Tyler Owens are also out due to hamstring injuries. Down to just three active safeties, Washington must promote one from the practice squad to play in the upcoming game, with Quan Martin and Jeremy Reaves expected to face a significant workload.

Defensive end Charles Omenihu, who has been instrumental in the team's run defense, is also out with a groin strain and ankle injury. Quarterback Marcus Mariota has previously been ruled out and is not a surprise. However, on a brighter note, quarterback Jayden Daniels, right guard Sam Cosmi, and running back Rachaad White have been cleared to play against the Giants in the crucial Week 5 matchup.

Cornerback Trey Amos, defensive lineman Deatrich Wise, and running back Jeremy McNichols have been designated as questionable for the game and will need to be added to the active roster before taking the field.
