What happened: Washington Commanders wide receiver Stefon Diggs will not play on Sunday due to a hamstring injury. Fellow receiver Terry McLaurin's status remains unclear as he also deals with a hamstring issue.

Why it matters: The injuries deplete the receiving options for Jayden Daniels, who was officially confirmed as the starting quarterback. Missing both veteran targets would force Washington to rely on depth options in the passing game.

By the numbers: Diggs recorded 85 receptions for 1,013 yards with the Patriots in 2025 before joining Washington, while McLaurin caught 38 passes for 582 yards in 10 games for the Commanders.

What to watch: Washington will evaluate McLaurin's hamstring through the weekend before making a final determination on his availability.
