Nick Bosa and Deebo Samuel are officially out for Monday night’s game against the Washington Commanders, a tough blow for our division rivals who just rolled through Lumen Field a week ago. San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan dropped the final injury report on Saturday, and it’s a laundry list that should make any Seattle fan crack a smile. After their visit to our house on October 11, it looks like they are paying the price.
Niners’ Injury Report Stacks Up After Seattle Showdown
Let’s be real, seeing the 49ers hurting is always a good day in the Emerald City. Bosa, our biggest headache on their D-line, is sidelined with a calf injury. Samuel, who always seems to make plays against us, is out with a hamstring issue. Marques Sigle has an ankle problem, and Garrett Wallow is also out with a hamstring. These four guys didn’t even practice on Friday, so their absence for Monday night’s matchup was pretty much set in stone.
But wait, there’s more! Six other Niners are currently listed as questionable. We’re talking about big names like Mike Evans, who’s battling both ribs and an Achilles issue, and Christian Kirk, dealing with a calf injury. Gracen Halton (quad), Siran Neal (neck), Upton Stout (shoulder), and Mykel Williams (knee) are also on that questionable list. Shanahan did say Evans and Halton “seem to have a solid shot to play,” so we’ll see if they can tough it out. It just goes to show you, nothing comes easy when you play in Seattle. Colton McKivitz and James Thompson, who were limited earlier in the week, did get cleared, so at least they have that. Despite all these injuries, the 49ers are still 7.5-point favorites against the Commanders. Wild, right?
Commanders Have Their Own Woes, But Stefon Diggs Might Play
It’s not just the Niners dealing with the injury bug. The Commanders have a whole heap of their own problems. They’ve got four players ruled out for Monday night, and a whopping nine others are questionable. Their biggest loss is running back Jacory Croskey-Merritt, who missed the entire week with a groin injury. On top of that, outside linebacker Javontae-Jean Baptiste, quarterback Marcus Mariota, and defensive end Charles Omenihu are all out.
Among their nine questionable players are some familiar names. Wide receiver Stefon Diggs, defensive tackle Javon Kinlaw, and linebacker Jordan Magee all practiced in a limited fashion on Saturday, so they might have a chance to suit up. It just means both teams will be pretty banged up heading into this prime-time slugfest. It almost makes you wish we were playing them again, fresh off our own game where the Seahawks unfortunately fell to the Denver Broncos 14-17. Rough one there, but we pick ourselves up, right?
Kickoff for the 49ers and Commanders is set for 5:15 PM on Monday night on ESPN. You know where my allegiance lies. Go ‘Hawks! Always rooting for our rivals to take an L.
