Stefon Diggs is officially questionable for Monday’s game against the 49ers after battling a hamstring injury, and trust me, that’s not even the half of it for the Commanders. They’ve got EIGHT other guys also listed as questionable.
Diggs’ Hamstring Still a Major Problem
Look, Diggs didn’t even play last Sunday. The guy’s been trying to get right, practicing on a limited basis for the last two days, but that hamstring is clearly still bugging him. He had 18 catches in the first four games, so you know how crucial he is to that offense. Having him on the sidelines again, or even limited, is a massive blow, especially against a team like the 49ers.
The Questionable List Goes On and On
But wait, there’s more. The list of questionable players is absolutely bonkers. Three guys need to be activated just to see the field: cornerback Trey Amos with an ankle issue, linebacker Jordan Magee with his own hamstring problem, and running back Jeremy McNichols nursing a quad. Then, you’ve got five more on the active roster also carrying that ‘questionable’ tag: safeties Percy Butler and Tyler Owens both dealing with hamstrings, safety Nick Cross fighting an illness, defensive tackle Javon Kinlaw with ankle and knee woes, and offensive lineman Lucas Patrick also out with an illness.
Four More Confirmed Out for Monday
And if that wasn’t enough, Head Coach Dan Quinn already dropped the hammer on Saturday, confirming four players are flat out NOT playing. Running back Jacory Croskey-Merritt is out with a groin injury, linebacker Javontae Jean-Baptiste has a pectoral issue, quarterback Marcus Mariota is sidelined with a knee, and defensive end Charles Omenihu is dealing with both a groin and an ankle. That’s a serious chunk of the squad just unavailable.
So yeah, Monday’s game against the 49ers is looking like a serious uphill battle for the Commanders. With Stefon Diggs’ status up in the air and a laundry list of other key guys banged up or out, they’re gonna need some absolute magic to pull this one off. It’s gonna be wild to see how they even fill out the lineup, let alone compete. Good luck out there, guys.
