Just when it appears the Washington Commanders could be turning a corner with their injury luck, more bad news. Wide receiver Stefon Diggs did not practice on Wednesday and was listed on the injury report with a hamstring injury. Diggs joins Terry McLaurin — Washington’s top two receivers — as being sidelined with hamstring injuries.
In total, 23 players were listed on the Commanders’ Wednesday injury report, including the three players on injured reserve who just had their 21-day return-to-practice window opened. Seventeen of those 23 players were either limited or did not practice.
Among those on the injury report who did practice was starting quarterback Jayden Daniels. After missing the last two games with a dislocated left (non-throwing)
elbow, Daniels will play on Sunday against the New York Giants.
With Diggs and McLaurin out on Wednesday, and having already lost Jaylin Lane for the year on Sunday, the Commanders could elevate someone from the practice squad for Week 5 if needed. Veteran Van Jefferson is one of three receivers on Washington’s practice squad.
Guard Sam Cosmi and running back Rachaad White both missed last week's game against the Colts in London. Both were limited on Wednesday. Here's Washington's complete injury report for Wednesday:
