19 Oct
Summary
- Stefon Diggs returns to practice after hamstring strain.
- Running back Jacory Croskey-Merritt ruled out with groin injury.
- Commanders may activate Jeremy McNichols for Monday's game.
Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels will see a shift in his available offensive weapons for Monday night's matchup against the 49ers. Stefon Diggs, a key receiver, has rejoined practice after recovering from a hamstring strain, providing a significant lift.
Conversely, the team has lost running back Jacory Croskey-Merritt, who has been officially ruled out due to a recurring groin injury that sidelined him previously. His absence creates an opportunity for other players.
Jeremy McNichols is being considered for activation. Head coach Dan Quinn praised McNichols' professionalism and potential contributions, including toughness and pass-catching ability, making his activation a likely possibility.
Additionally, the Commanders hope to see defensive players Nick Cross, Tyler Owens, and Trey Amos return from injuries, potentially impacting cornerback Mike Sainristil's playing time. The NFC landscape is also shifting, with several teams experiencing unexpected losses.
