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. |

| 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. |

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. |

| 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. |

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. |
Commanders | Jayden Daniels out for Week 15 Wed Dec 10, 12:36 PM
Washington Commanders QB Jayden Daniels (elbow) had no structural damage to his left elbow, but he is out for Week 15. QB Marcus Mariota will start.
| Footballguys view: Mariota gets the start, and he's done a fine job filling in for Daniels this year. Daniels played last week, but you could tell his elbow was bothering him - especially when he had to brace himself for a fall. With the Commanders season a wash, they should be incredibly cautious with Daniels in the last month of the year. |

Commanders | Zach Ertz to IR Wed Dec 10, 09:51 AM
Washington Commanders TE Zach Ertz (knee) was placed on the Reserve/Injured list with a torn anterior cruciate ligament Wednesday, Dec. 10.

Ertz put together a strong season with 50 receptions for 504 yards and four touchdowns. Playing on a one-year deal in 2025, Ertz is set to be an unrestricted free agent in 2026. |

Commanders | Quinn confirms Zach Ertz suffered a season-ending ACL injury Mon Dec 8, 03:47 PM
Commanders head coach Dan Quinn said on Sunday that "the early signals aren't good" about tight end Zach Ertz's knee injury, and further tests confirmed the team's fears about the nature of the injury. Quinn said at his Monday press conference that Ertz suffered a torn ACL. He will have surgery to repair the injury and will miss the rest of the season.
| Footballguys view: Ertz had one catch in Sunday's loss to the Vikings before being carted off with his leg in a brace. He had 50 catches for 504 yards and four touchdowns for the season. Ertz signed a one-year contract with the Commanders for this season. If he plays in 2026, it will be his 14th NFL season. John Bates, Ben Sinnott, and Colson Yankoff all move up the depth chart with Ertz out. |

Commanders | Zach Ertz is believed to have torn his ACL Sun Dec 7, 10:02 PM
Commanders tight end Zach Ertz left Sunday's 31-0 loss to the Minnesota Vikings with what is believed to be a torn ACL, according to coach Dan Quinn. "Early signs say a serious injury," said Quinn, who added that Ertz will undergo imaging on Monday.
| Footballguys view: Ertz was hurt in the third quarter and had to be helped off the field. He was unable to put pressure on the leg. He was soon carted to the locker room, a towel draped over his head, and was ruled out with the injury early in the fourth quarter. Ertz, 35, has 49 receptions for 493 yards and four touchdowns this season. Last week, he moved into fifth place on the all-time receptions list for an NFL tight end. He now has 825. John Bates, Ben Sinnott, and Colson Yankoff are the other tight ends on the roster. |

Commanders | Quinn confirms Jayden Daniels could have returned Sun Dec 7, 10:01 PM
Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels did not return after aggravating his left elbow injury in the third quarter Sunday. Coach Dan Quinn said after the 31-0 loss to the Vikings that Daniels could have returned, but a coach decided to keep him out. Marcus Mariota finished the game.
| Footballguys view: The Commanders trailed only 14-0 when Daniels' elbow slammed against the turf as he was pursuing Vikings LB Andrew Van Ginkel after an interception. Quinn added that he plans for Daniels to continue playing this season despite the Commanders being eliminated from playoff contention. Daniels dislocated his left elbow while bracing a fall during a sack in Week 9. He missed three games before returning to start Sunday's game. Daniels went 9-of-20 for 78 yards and an interception and ran for 16 yards on four carries. We'll be watching for more on this in coming days. |
