Diggs caught five of nine targets for 35 yards in Sunday's 30-13 loss to the Colts.

While the targets and receptions led the Commanders on the day, Diggs finished just fourth in receiving yards on the team as his longest gain went for only 10 yards. The veteran wideout's ability to deliver a big play was impacted by the loss of Marcus Mariota (knee) in the first quarter, leaving the offense in the hands of seventh-round rookie Athan Kaliakmanis. Diggs could be the No. 1 receiver again in Week 5 against the Giants if Terry McLaurin (hamstring) remains sidelined, but Diggs' ceiling could be limited if Jayden Daniels (elbow) isn't cleared to return.

Awosika (leg) is inactive for Sunday's game against Seattle.

Awosika injured his Fibula in the Week 2 loss to the Raiders. Considering he was expected to miss time, his absence Sunday isn't surprising by any means. With Awosika off the field, Trevor Penning is in line to see more action.

Wingard (knee) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Giants.

The news doesn't come as much of a surprise, considering Wingard had to be carted off the field and into the locker room after sustaining a knee injury. Wydett Williams will continue to see more defensive snaps at safety in Wingard's absence.

Wyatt (ankle) has returned to Sunday's game against the buccaneers, Weston Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

Wyatt briefly left Sunday's game due to an ankle injury, but the fourth-year pro has been cleared by medical staff to return. He'll continue to start alongside Javon Hargrave and Karl Brooks on the defensive line.

Jackson (concussion) is available for Sunday's game against Seattle.

Jackson was in the league's concussion protocol. However, after practicing in full Friday, he will suit up for the Week 4 meeting with the Seahawks.

Surratt (calf) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Chargers, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Surratt popped up on Friday's injury report due to a calf injury, which is severe enough for him to be sidelined for Sunday's game. He's been limited to special-teams duties this season, but his absence means there will be less depth at inside linebacker for the Seahawks in Week 4.

Croskey-Merritt carried the ball nine times for a season-low 15 yards and caught two of four targets for 35 yards in Sunday's 30-13 loss to the Colts.

The Commanders' running game struggled to get anything going against an Indy front seven led by DeForest Buckner, especially once Marcus Mariota (knee) was replaced under center by seventh-round rookie Athan Kaliakmanis, but Croskey-Merritt was able to salvage his production to some extent with a 35-yard catch and run on a screen pass in the first quarter that helped set up a field goal. His 11 touches led the Washington backfield, while Austin Ekeler saw five in his season debut and rookie Kaytron Allen got three, but that division of labor came with Rachaad White (shoulder) on the shelf. Croskey-Merritt's ability to improve on his numbers could depend on whether Jayden Daniels (elbow) can return at quarterback for Washington in a Week 5 home game against the Giants.

Powers-Johnson (groin) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Chiefs.

Powers-Johnson was unable to practice all week due to a groin injury. Bryce Cabeldue will be the lone reserve guard behind starters Caleb Rogers and Spencer Burford in the absence of Powers-Johnson.

Molden (hamstring) is available for Sunday's game against Seattle.

Molden has been battling a hamstring injury but will avoid another absence in Week 4. As a result, RJ Mickens and Genesis Smith should see fewer snaps.

Wiley (coach's decision) is inactive against the Raiders on Sunday.

Wiley will once again be a healthy scratch, and his next chance to make his 2026 regular-season debut is Week 6 against the Chargers on Oct. 18. The Chiefs will go with Travis Kelce, Noah Gray and Jake Briningstool as the active tight ends for Sunday's AFC West showdown.
