• The Monday night matchup between the Commanders and 49ers began with questions about who would actually be available at receiver.
  • Washington’s Terry McLaurin was carted to the locker room after an apparent knee injury and was quickly ruled out.
  • San Francisco’s Mike Evans, who had been listed as questionable before kickoff, played through the opening half before leaving with an Achilles injury and being ruled out for the rest of the game.
  • McLaurin’s exit came in the first quarter, when he went down while running a route and needed help getting off the field.
  • Washington was already trailing 14-3 at the time, and the loss of its top target only made the margin for error smaller.
  • By halftime, the 49ers had built a 20-3 lead, and the game had become a test of depth as much as execution.
