Will Stefon Diggs play in Week 5 against the New York Giants today? Latest injury update on the Washington Commanders veteran wide receiver

Jayden Daniels is set to return after missing two games. But two of his powerful weapons may not be on the gridiron. Stefon Diggs and Terry McLaurin. As both are suffering from hamstring injuries sustained in the Week 4 loss to the Indianapolis Colts in London.Daniels could see a familiar face on the gridiron if Terry McLaurin is cleared to play, as he was listed questionable for Week 5.If McLaurin is also ruled out, rookie Antonio Williams will become Washington’s starting wide receiver. Followed by Luke McCaffrey, Treylon Burks, and Dyami Brown. These names are hardly heard, but if they show their magic in Week 5, maybe they’ll become popular.Is Stefon Diggs playing against the New York Giants?No, Stefon Diggs, a wide receiver for the Washington Commanders, will not be playing in the Week 5 game against the New York Giants.This comes as a shock because he played all four previous games. However, he suffered a hamstring injury in Week 4, when the team lost to the Indianapolis Colts.Fellow wide receiver Terry McLaurin suffered a hamstring injury in Friday’s practice ahead of Week 4 against the Colts. He was ruled out for the London game. The whole pressure came on Diggs. He injured his hamstring. Now, Diggs hasn’t practiced even once this week. He’s ruled out for the Week 5 showdown.But since McLaurin is a game-time decision, maybe he could be cleared after a week’s absence. Also, he was a limited participant on Friday. Maybe he could be there for Jayden Daniels’ comeback from an elbow injury. As per John Keim of ESPN, McLaurin is trending toward playing in Week 5.The Commanders are down three games and have only one win. They need to turn this season around.
