Watkins among only three healthy 49ers receivers; elevated role vs. Washington.

49ers tight end Jordan Watkins is one of only three healthy receivers available for Monday night against the Commanders, with Deebo Samuel and Garret Wallow ruled out. This scarcity elevates Watkins' role and target opportunity in the passing game.
