Christian Kirk - Ruled out for Monday's game The 49ers downgraded Kirk (calf) to out for Monday's game against the Commanders, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Impact Kirk had been viewed as a candidate to return from injured reserve for his 49ers debut, but that move won't happen ahead of Week 6. His absence keeps San Francisco's receiving corps short-handed for Monday's contest.

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.
