Commanders RB Jacory Croskey-Merritt (groin) has been ruled out of Monday’s Week 6 game at the 49ers, head coach Dan Quinn confirmed on Saturday. Croskey-Merritt, the team’s leading rusher, re-injured the same groin that has nagged him in recent weeks and missed practice all week. RB Rachaad White, who has caught all 10 of his targets for 53 yards and a touchdown, and RB Austin Ekeler figure to handle the backfield work. “His explosiveness in the passing game is a big deal,” Quinn said of Ekeler. “So, having some combination of the guys, I think that’s what we’ll lean on most right now.”
