Commanders Rule Out RB Jacory Croskey-Merritt, 3 Others vs. 49ers
Jacory Croskey-Merritt is expected to miss Monday night’s game as Washington’s running back depth thins after recent roster moves, sources said.
On Saturday, the Washington Commanders planned to rule out running back Jacory Croskey-Merritt for Monday's game against the San Francisco 49ers due to a reinjured groin.
Coach Dan Quinn confirmed the injury stems from last week's tie against the New York Giants, while the team's depth concerns follow the October 8 release of rookie Kaytron Allen to the Miami Dolphins.
Limited in practice, Rachaad White and Austin Ekeler are dealing with shoulder and chest injuries respectively, and the team may activate Jeremy McNichols from injured reserve to bolster the rotation.
Entering Monday night's matchup at 1-3-1, Washington must confront the undefeated 5-0 San Francisco 49ers while managing a critically limited roster before their Week 7 bye.
Groin injuries often linger if not managed properly, creating a situation to monitor after the San Francisco game, while fantasy players should consider alternatives as the team evaluates its remaining running backs.
