Summary

Washington Commanders wide receiver Stefon Diggs has been ruled out for Week 5 due to a hamstring injury. Diggs did not practice throughout the week, forcing the team to adjust their offensive strategy ahead of their matchup against the New York Giants. With Diggs sidelined, fellow wide receiver Terry McLaurin is expected to receive more targets if he is available to play. The Commanders will look to fill the gap left by Diggs as they prepare for this pivotal division game.
