Jacory Croskey-Merritt - Heads to injured reserve The Commanders placed Croskey-Merritt (groin) on injured reserve Monday.

Impact Croskey-Merritt had already been ruled out for Monday's game against the 49ers, but his move to IR ensures that he'll miss at least an additional three contests beyond that. With Croskey-Merritt sidelined through Week 10, Rachaad White looks on track to serve as the Commanders' top option out of the backfield in the interim, while Austin Ekeler and Jeremy McNichols are on hand in complementary roles.

Stefon Diggs - Slated to play Monday night Diggs (hamstring) is in line to play in Monday's game at San Francisco, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Impact Diggs sat out Week 5 due to a hamstring issue and then was able to manage a pair of limited practices during Week 6 prep, eventually getting tagged as questionable ahead of Monday Night Football. Assuming he avoids the Commanders' inactive list, as expected, Diggs will join Terry McLaurin as the top wide receivers available to QB Jayden Daniels.

Nick Cross - Looks on track to play Monday Commanders general manager Adam Peters said that Cross (illness), who is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the 49ers, is "trending in the right direction" to be avai...

Impact Cross has been sidelined for the Commanders' last three games with what has been described as an internal injury, but he's been practicing for two weeks and looks poised to put an end to his absence Monday. The fifth-year safety was a full participant in practice Wednesday through Friday and should be ready to reclaim a starting role in the secondary.

Trey Amos - Likely to debut Monday Commanders general manager Adam Peters said that Amos (ankle) is likely to be activated from injured reserve and is expected to play Monday versus the 49ers, Nicki Jhabvala of The...

Impact After opening the season on IR, Amos was cleared to resume practicing with the Commanders in Week 5. He was a limited participant in practice throughout last week, but he's increased his activity in Week 6, turning in full practices Wednesday through Friday. Amos is officially listed as questionable for Monday's game, but his activation from IR would signal that Washington plans on having him available against the 49ers. Before his rookie season came to an early end last November when he fractured his fibula, Amos tallied 32 tackles and six pass breakups in 10 games.

2026 Super Bowl Odds: Rams Dethroned As Favorites For First Time This Season

Javontae Jean-Baptiste - Ruled out for Week 6 Jean-Baptiste (pectoral) will be sidelined for Monday's clash against the 49ers, Tashan Reed of The Washington Post reports.

Impact Jean-Baptiste didn't practice at all this week, so it's not a surprise that he won't play Monday. Per Reed, head coach Dan Quinn expects rookie Joshua Josephs to see more playing time Week 6 with both Jean-Baptiste and Charles Omenihu (groin/ankle)

1 DAY AGO • ROTOWIRE

Charles Omenihu - Out another week Omenihu (groin/ankle) has been ruled out for Monday's Week 6 matchup against San Francisco, Tashan Reed of The Washington Post reports.

Impact This will be Omehihu's second straight absence after he was injured early against Indianapolis in Week 4. The Commanders are on bye next week, so the veteran defensive end will look to return in Week 8 against Philadelphia. Javon Kinlaw (ankle/knee) is questionable for Monday's contest, so Washington may need to lean more on Shy Tuttle and/or Deatrich Wise.

1 DAY AGO • ROTOWIRE

Jeremy McNichols - Deemed questionable for MNF McNichols (quadriceps) is questionable for Monday night's game against the 49ers.

Impact McNichols was a full practice participant this week but remains on injured reserve, though the Commanders could still choose to activate him ahead of Monday night's contest. With Jacory Croskey-Merritt (foot) out, the Commanders could use McNichols as depth alongside Rachaad White and Austin Ekeler.

1 DAY AGO • ROTOWIRE

Jeremy Reaves - Cleared for Week 6 Reaves (rib) doesn't carry an injury designation into Monday night's game against the 49ers.

Impact Reaves was limited in practice all week but is good to go versus San Francisco. He's also dealt with a finger injury lately but has yet to miss a game this season. Reaves has recorded 34 tackles (20 solo) and a pair of pass breakups on 92.5 percent of the defensive snaps through five games.

1 DAY AGO • ROTOWIRE

Treylon Burks - Ready for Week 6 Burks (shoulder) doesn't have a designation for Monday's game in San Francisco.

Impact Burks practiced a limited capacity during the entirety of Week 6 prep due to a shoulder issue, but it won't stop him from being available Monday. Fellow WR Stefon Diggs (hamstring) is listed as questionable, and if he's inhibited or sidelined this week, Burks will stand to benefit in the Commanders' passing game. In four contests this season, Burks has notched five catches (on 11 targets) for 86 yards and two touchdowns.

2 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Austin Ekeler - Cleared for Week 6 Ekeler (chest) does not carry an injury designation into Monday's game against the 49ers.

Impact Ekeler was limited in all practice all week due to a chest injury, but he's done enough to fade an injury tag for Monday Night Football. With Jacory Croskey-Merritt (groin) already ruled out, Ekeler and Rachaad White are both expected to lead the Commanders' backfield for Week 6 against a 49ers defense that has given up only three rushing touchdowns across five regular-season games.

2 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Rachaad White - Clear for Week 6 White (shoulder) doesn't have a designation for Monday's game at San Francisco.

Impact Despite ending Week 6 prep with back-to-back limited practices due to a shoulder injury, White will be available to the Commanders backfield Monday along with Austin Ekeler (chest). With Jacory Croskey-Merritt (groin) ruled out, White and Ekeler are the candidates to lead Washington's backfield this week. On the season, White had 39 touches for 171 yards from scrimmage and one receiving TD in four appearances.

2 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Stefon Diggs - Questionable for MNF Diggs (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against San Francisco.

Impact Diggs ended the week with back-to-back limited practices, which was enough for him to draw the questionable tag for Monday Night Football. Diggs did not play in Week 5 against the Giants, but if he's cleared to play against the 49ers, then it would be the first time that he, Terry McLaurin and Jayden Daniels are on the field together since Week 2 against the Cowboys. If Diggs does not play, then Antonio Williams and Treylon Burks would both operate in elevated roles offensively behind McLaurin.

2 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Terry McLaurin - Good to go against San Francisco McLaurin (hamstring) does not have an injury designation ahead of Monday's game against the 49ers.

Impact McLaurin logged an LP-DNP-LP practice log while tending to a lingering hamstring injury, but he has been given the green light to play in Monday night's game. The Commanders could also have Stefon Diggs (hamstring) back in action, and in that case, Washington would have McLaurin, Diggs and Jayden Daniels share the field for the first time since Week 2 against the Cowboys. McLaurin has a 14-203-1 receiving line on 26 targets across four regular-season games.

2 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Marcus Mariota - Not available for Week 6 Mariota (knee) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the 49ers, Tashan Reed of The Washington Post reports.

Impact As expected, Mariota will miss a second consecutive game due to a sprained MCL in his right knee, which he picked up during the Commanders' Week 4 loss to the Colts in London. Rookie seventh-rounder Athan Kaliakmanis will once again serve as Washington's backup quarterback behind Jayden Daniels for Monday night's game. The Commanders are on a bye for Week 7, so Mariota could be back in action for Week 8 against the Eagles on Sunday, Nov. 1.

2 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Jacory Croskey-Merritt - Ruled out for Monday night Croskey-Merritt (groin) has been ruled out for Monday night's game against the 49ers, Tashan Reed of The Washington Post reports.

Impact Croskey-Merritt was unable to practice all week due to a groin injury, and he's not been officially ruled out for Monday night's game. The statuses of Rachaad White (shoulder) and Austin Ekeler (chest) will be known once the Commanders announce their injury designations on Saturday's practice report. Washington is on a bye for Week 7, so Croskey-Merritt will have more time to recover from his injury before the Commanders' Week 8 tilt against the Eagles on Sunday, Nov. 1.

Stefon Diggs - Spotted at Saturday's practice Diggs (hamstring) was on the field for Saturday's practice session, Jonah Keim of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Diggs is on the practice field for a second consecutive day. He was unable to play against the Giants in Week 5 due to a hamstring injury, and his official status for Monday night's game against the 49ers will be more clear once the Commanders announce their injury designations after Saturday's practice.

2 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Terry McLaurin - Practicing Saturday McLaurin (hamstring) was on the field for Saturday's practice session, Jonah Keim of ESPN.com reports.

Impact McLaurin was back on the practice field after sitting out of Friday's session for a veteran rest day. His status for Monday's game against the 49ers should be more clear once the Commanders announce their injury designations following Saturday's practice.

2 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Jacory Croskey-Merritt - Not spotted at Saturday's practice Croskey-Merritt (groin) wasn't at Saturday's practice and will not likely be available for Monday night's game against the 49ers, Tashan Reed of The Washington Post reports.

Impact Croskey-Merritt will end up missing all three Week 6 practices while recovering from a groin injury, and it wouldn't be surprising to see him ruled out by the Commanders once the team submits its injury designations following Saturday's session. Rachaad White (shoulder) and Austin Ekeler (chest) are also both working through injuries, so the Commanders may have to dip into their practice squad and elevate one or both of Craig Reynolds or Devin Neal for Monday night's contest.

Jeremy McNichols - Another full practice McNichols (quadriceps) was a full participant in Friday's practice.

Impact McNichols has opened Week 6 prep with back-to-back full practices, which indicates that the veteran running back is in the final stages of his recovery from a quad injury that caused him to open the regular season on injured reserve. He would need to be activated from IR in order to be eligible to play against the 49ers on Monday. McNichols' return could be a crucial one for the Commanders, whose backfield is dealing with injuries to Jacory Croskey-Merritt (groin), Rachaad White (shoulder) and Austin Ekeler (chest).
