Stefon Diggs and Mike Evans are both listed as questionable ahead of Monday night’s NFL clash between the Washington Commanders and the San Francisco 49ers, casting uncertainty over the availability of two prominent receivers.
Washington’s Diggs has been limited in practice due to a hamstring injury, putting his participation in doubt. He has recorded 18 catches across the first four games this season, making him a significant contributor to the Commanders’ passing game. If Diggs is unable to play, Washington will need to rely on other receivers to fill the void and maintain offensive momentum.
Running back Jacory Croskey-Merritt is confirmed out with a groin injury, further complicating the Commanders’ offensive options. Quarterback Marcus Mariota, defensive end Charles Omenihu, and linebacker Javontae Jean-Baptiste are also ruled out, narrowing Washington’s depth on both sides of the ball.
For the 49ers, defensive end Nick Bosa is sidelined with a calf injury, removing a major element of San Francisco’s pass rush. Wide receiver Deebo Samuel is also out with a hamstring injury, limiting the team’s offensive flexibility. Additionally, Mike Evans, Christian Kirk, Gracen Halton, and Mykel Williams are all questionable, with Evans’ status closely watched given his impact potential.
The 49ers remain unbeaten at 5-0 despite these injuries, but the absence of Bosa and Samuel, along with the uncertainty around Evans and others, could reduce their margin for error against a Commanders team eager for a road win.
The game kicks off at 8:15 p.m. Eastern Time at Levi’s Stadium and will be broadcast on ESPN and ABC. Both teams’ final inactive lists are expected to provide clearer updates on player availability as kickoff approaches.
