Commanders vs. Giants Wednesday injury report: Stefon Diggs unavailable

October 7, 2026

The Washington Commanders entered Week 5 with a concerning injury cascade, leaving their already depleted receiving corps further weakened. Stefon Diggs, a key playmaker, was added to the injury list with a hamstring strain, joining Terry McLaurin, who has also been sidelined by the same issue.

The defensive front was hit hard as well, with Charles Omenihu—now a critical rotational piece—out due to a groin strain and an ankle injury. Quarterback Marcus Mariota, though not headed to injured reserve, remains out for several weeks with an MCL sprain, while Jayden Daniels’ full participation and expected start provide a rare bright spot for a team already at 1-3.

Additional setbacks include Sam Cosmi’s concussion protocol and throat injury, which ruled him out, and Nick Allegretti’s hip injury limiting his availability. The Commanders’ depth chart faces further strain with multiple other players dealing with groin, shoulder, and knee issues, including groin strains for Jacory Croskey-Merritt and Frankie Luvu, and a shoulder injury for Rachaad White.
