The Washington Commanders officially ruled out 15 players for Saturday's game against the Detroit Lions. Quarterback Jayden Daniels' name was not among the players listed. Several players on the roster are dealing with injuries. If you take a quick look, you'll see the team will be without three running backs and several pieces on its defensive front.Washington’s Full List of Players Ruled OutRB Rachaad WhiteQB Marcus MariotaRB Jacory Croskey-MerrittCB Trey AmosRB Jeremy McNicholsOLB K’Lavon ChaissonLB Jordan MageeC Nick AllegrettiLT Laremy TunsilDE Deatrich Wise Jr.DE Dorance ArmstrongDT Daron PayneDT Johnny NewtonDT Tim SettleOLB Odafe OwehWith Rachaad White, Jacory Croskey-Merritt, and Jeremy McNichols out for this game, expect to see another heavy dose of Robert Henry Jr. and Kaytron Allen. The younger defensive linemen and back end of the roster will get the attention Saturday, with most of the defensive front not suiting up. The Detroit game may not feature many of Washington’s established players, but the absences create plenty of meaningful evaluation opportunities for players still fighting for roster spots and roles.Stefon Diggs rockin’ 3️⃣ todayHis official number has not yet been determined and will be announced after roster cutdowns pic.twitter.com/naCAHW3hKI— Washington Commanders (@Commanders) August 22, 2026Sign up for our free newsletter and follow the Burgundy & Gold on Facebook and the Commanders on SI on X for the latest news.
