Commanders | Chris Rodriguez set to play Thu Dec 18, 05:29 PM
Washington Commanders RB Chris Rodriguez Jr. (groin) fully participated in practice Thursday, Dec. 18, and is not on the injury report for Week 16.
| Footballguys view: Against the Eagles on Saturday, Rodriguez should have a healthy workload. His playing status means we should see less of Jacory Croskey-Merritt. We've got Rodriguez as a deep flex play and Croskey-Merritt in the 'what the heck' flex range. |

Commanders | Chris Rodriguez fully practices Wed Dec 17, 05:40 PM
Washington Commanders RB Chris Rodriguez Jr. (groin) fully participated in practice Wednesday, Dec. 17.
| Footballguys view: Jacory Croskey-Merritt was a hot waiver addition this year, but he might be relegated for reserve duty with Rodriguez on track to play. We like him as a deep flex option against the Eagles on Saturday. |

Washington Commanders WR Chris Moore was signed to the active roster from the practice squad Tuesday, Dec. 16. Free-agent WR River Cracraft (Commanders) and TE Gee Scott (Patriots) were signed to the practice squad.
| Footballguys view: Moore was released before the Vikings game to make room on the 53-man roster for Noah Brown, who was placed on IR today. Moore was signed to the practice squad after clearing waivers and is now back on the main roster. Moore had the second-most WR snaps on the team behind Deebo Samuel in an injury-filled season. |

Washington Commanders WR Noah Brown (ribs) was placed on the Reserve/Injured list Tuesday, Dec. 16, which will end his season.
| Footballguys view: Brown was able to play just four games in 2025. He suffered an ankle injury early in the season that kept him sidelined until the Week 14 loss to the Vikings. In those four games, he caught five passes for 83 yards. |

Commanders | Jayden Daniels to avoid IR Mon Dec 15, 04:15 PM
Updating a previous report, Washington Commanders QB Jayden Daniels (elbow) will miss the rest of the season but will not be placed on the Reserve/Injured list because he wants to continue to practice, according to head coach Dan Quinn.
| Footballguys view: Again, Marcus Mariota is expected to start the last three games for Washington, with Daniels focused on heading into the offseason healthy and ready to work on better outcomes in 2026. |
Commanders | Report: Jayden Daniels won't play again this season Mon Dec 15, 03:39 PM
Jayden Daniels' second season is over, with three games remaining on the schedule. The Commanders will shut down the quarterback for the rest of the 2025 season, NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported on Monday. Rapoport added that Daniels was re-evaluated on Monday and is not yet cleared after he aggravated an elbow injury in Week 14.
| Footballguys view: The 2024 Offensive Rookie of the Year suffered through an injury-riddled second season. He completed 60.9 percent of his passes for 1,262 yards with eight touchdowns and three interceptions in seven games. Daniels added 58 rush attempts for 278 yards and two scores. The Commanders went 2-5 in his seven starts. Daniels did not play in Sunday's 29-21 win over the Giants. Marcus Mariota, who started Sunday's game, which broke an eight-game losing skid, will remain the starter. The Commanders end the season with home games against the Eagles and Cowboys, and close the campaign at Philadelphia. |

Commanders | Jacory Croskey-Merritt runs through G-Men Sun Dec 14, 08:15 PM
Washington Commanders RB Jacory Croskey-Merritt rushed 18 times for 96 yards and a touchdown in a 29-21 win over the New York Giants in Week 15.
| Footballguys view: Croskey-Merritt fell behind Chris Rodriguez Jr. in the backfield pecking order as time has gone on. He hadn't eclipsed 40 rushing yards since Week 6 and hadn't found the end zone since Week 5, but with Rodriguez out due to an ailing groin, Croskey-Merritt made the most of his opportunity. He ran hard and effectively throughout, consistently keeping the Commanders ahead of the chains, and it'll be interesting to see if he's earned back a larger portion of the rotation in the team's remaining games. |
Commanders | Marcus Mariota leads Washington to win Sun Dec 14, 08:08 PM
Washington Commanders QB Marcus Mariota completed 10 of his 19 passes for 211 yards and a touchdown and rushed 10 times for 43 yards and lost a fumble in a 29-21 win over the New York Giants in Week 15.

Commanders | Noah Brown has injured ribs Sun Dec 14, 08:05 PM
Updating a previous report, Washington Commanders WR Noah Brown (ribs) did not return to the Week 15 game against the New York Giants after suffering an injury to his ribs. The injury was initially reported as a back issue.
| Footballguys view: Brown played his second game back after missing 10 consecutive games due to a groin injury, and hauled in the Commanders' longest catch of the day -- a 28-yard grab. Entering Week 15, Brown has caught four passes for 55 yards, averaging 13.8 yards per reception. However, he has played in just four games this season: Weeks 1, 2, 14, and 15. He was unable to finish Washington's Week 2 loss to the Green Bay Packers and was ruled out during halftime against the Giants. Brown will be a free agent in 2026. |

Commanders | Noah Brown should play Fri Dec 12, 04:40 PM
Washington Commanders WR Noah Brown (groin, knee) did not participate in practice Friday, Dec. 12, but is not on the injury report for Week 15.
| Footballguys view: Brown has battled through injuries this year and hasn't done much in the few games he's played. He's off the fantasy radar unless multiple receivers ahead of him have to miss time. |

Washington Commanders WR Terry McLaurin (non-injury) did not participate in practice Friday, Dec. 12, but is not on the injury report for Week 15.
| Footballguys view: This looks like a standard rest day for McLaurin. He's operated as the team's primary receiver since returning from injury two weeks ago. Get him in your lineup as a high-end WR2 this week. |

Commanders | Questionable tag for Deebo Samuel Fri Dec 12, 04:26 PM
Washington Commanders WR Deebo Samuel (illness) did not participate in practice Friday, Dec. 12, and is listed as questionable for Week 15.
| Footballguys view: Rarely do Friday illnesses result in missed games on Sunday. We'll keep an eye on this and update with new information as it becomes available. If active, Samuel projects as a high-end WR3. |

Commanders | Chris Rodriguez listed as questionable Fri Dec 12, 04:22 PM
Washington Commanders RB Chris Rodriguez Jr. (groin) was limited during practice Friday, Dec. 12, and is listed as questionable for Week 15.
| Footballguys view: Rodriguez has logged back-to-back limited practices after missing Wednesday, giving hope he'll suit up Sunday against the Giants. If he plays, he profiles as a touchdown-dependent RB3. If he's out, Jacory Croskey-Merritt and Jeremy McNichols would split the backfield, leaving both as volatile RB3 options. If Rodriguez is active, he's the only Washington back who should be in fantasy consideration. |
Commanders | Jayden Daniels officially out for Week 15 Fri Dec 12, 04:11 PM
Washington Commanders QB Jayden Daniels (elbow) was limited during practice Friday, Dec. 12, but has been ruled out for Week 15.
| Footballguys view: After immediately reinjuring his left elbow in his first game back from a three-game absence, the optics of Daniels returning this week wouldn't be great. With the Commanders essentially eliminated from playoff contention, it's unclear whether he'll play again this season. Fantasy managers should already have Marcus Mariota rostered, as he's provided steady production as the starter. |

Commanders | Chris Rodriguez back at practice Thu Dec 11, 05:25 PM
Washington Commanders RB Chris Rodriguez Jr. (groin) was limited during practice Thursday, Dec. 11.
| Footballguys view: Watch Rodriguez's status on Friday. This groin injury is bothering him during the week, but he's likely to be out there in Week 15. Jacory Croskey-Merritt would be in line to do more if Rodriguez can't play or gets banged up early in the game. |

Commanders | Jayden Daniels not being shut down Wed Dec 10, 12:43 PM
Washington Commanders QB Jayden Daniels (elbow) is not being shut down for the season, according to head coach Dan Quinn.
| Footballguys view: He won't be shut down for the season, but the Commanders have to be considering that move. Daniels did not look right in Week 14, and they've got nothing to play for. Marcus Mariota starts until Daniels is ready, and that may not be in the cards over the next four games. |
