Commanders lose RB Croskey-Merritt, may gain WR Diggs for 49ers

The Washington Commanders face the San Francisco 49ers on Monday night without starting running back Jacory Croskey-Merritt, who re-injured his groin during last week's game against the New York Giants. He has been ruled out by head coach Dan Quinn. On a positive note, wide receiver Stefon Diggs returned to practice after missing last week with a hamstring strain, and the team may activate him for the game. Additionally, running back Jeremy McNichols could also see action, as he may be activated to provide support in Croskey-Merritt's absence. The Commanders seek to improve their record to 2-3-1 as they navigate a competitive NFC.
