Washington will be without four players Monday against the 49ers, Quinn announced Saturday.

Running back Croskey-Merritt has been ruled out with a groin injury. The issue is an aggravation of a summer groin injury, and he missed practice all week. Quinn ruled Croskey-Merritt out Saturday.

Also unavailable will be linebacker Jean-Baptiste, who is out with a pectoral injury, along with Omenihu, sidelined by groin and ankle injuries. Quarterback Mariota is out with a knee injury.

The Commanders have several running back options still practicing. White is practicing despite a shoulder injury, and Ekeler is practicing through a chest injury. McNichols is a possible activation from injured reserve.

The full injury report will be released later Saturday.
