Commanders rule four injured players out vs 49ers on Monday night
The Commanders listed 13 players on their final injury report for Monday Night Football, with four being ruled out.
The Washington Commanders finalized their practice session on Saturday in preparation for their Week 6 matchup against the San Francisco 49ers on Monday night. Positive news emerged for Washington as top wide receivers Terry McLaurin and Stefon Diggs are expected to return to the lineup for Monday’s crucial game against the 49ers.
McLaurin had missed one game due to a hamstring injury and played through it in the previous week’s game against the Giants. Meanwhile, Diggs had missed last week’s contest. McLaurin will suit up for Monday’s game, while Diggs is listed as questionable. The Commanders will be without running back Jacory Croskey-Merritt, who dealt with a groin injury that limited his touches in the second half against New York last week.
He did not practice at all during the week. In his absence, Austin Ekeler, Rachaad White, and possibly Jeremy McNichols will share the duties in Washington’s backfield. McNichols remains on the PUP list but is questionable for Monday’s game and could be activated. The Commanders' final injury report for Monday night includes: out running back Jacory-Croskey-Merritt (groin); outside linebacker Javontae Jean-Baptiste (pectoral); quarterback Marcus Mariota (knee); defensive end Charles Omenihu (groin/ankle); questionable cornerbacks Trey Amos (ankle), Percy Butler (hamstring), Nick Cross (illness); wide receiver Stefon Diggs (hamstring); defensive tackle Javon Kinlaw (ankle/knee); linebacker Jordan Magee (hamstring); running back Jeremy McNichols (quad); safety Tyler Owens (hamstring); and center Lucas Patrick (illness).
