Commanders | Chris Rodriguez Jr. good to go Fri Nov 28, 04:27 PM
Washington Commanders RB Chris Rodriguez Jr. (illness) practiced in full on Friday, Nov. 28, and no longer appears on the injury report.
| Footballguys view: Rodriguez has quietly emerged as the lead back in the mercurial Commanders' backfield. He cedes some passing-down work to Jeremy McNichols, which puts a ceiling on his upside. However, goal-line opportunities have gone his way recently, making him a touchdown-dependent RB3 against a stout Broncos defense. |
Washington Commanders QB Jayden Daniels (elbow) was limited in practice all week and has been ruled out for Week 13.
| Footballguys view: Daniels still hasn't been cleared for contact, a major hurdle before he can even be considered for activation. He's expressed interest in returning this season, but the Commanders may prioritize keeping their franchise quarterback safe and healthy in what's clearly a lost season. |
Washington Commanders WR Noah Brown (groin, knee, rest) and DE Drake Jackson (knee, groin) did not practice on Friday, Nov. 28, and have been ruled out for Week 13 against the Denver Broncos. QB Jayden Daniels (elbow) was limited in practice all week and has been ruled out. S Will Harris (ankle) and LS Tyler Ott (illness, back) practiced in full on Friday and are listed as questionable. DL Javon Kinlaw (rest) and WR Terry McLaurin (quad, rest) did not practice on Friday and no longer appear on the injury report. WR Treylon Burks (finger), LB Ale Kaho (concussion), WR Jaylin Lane (hip), LB Frankie Luvu (shoulder), WR Chris Moore (shoulder), RB Chris Rodriguez Jr. (illness), and TE Ben Sinnott (ankle) practiced in full on Friday and no longer appear on the injury report.

Washington Commanders WR Terry McLaurin (quad) will be active for Week 13 against the Denver Broncos.
| Footballguys view: McLaurin will make his return after missing over a month, suiting up for just his second game since Week 3. It's been a brutal season for both McLaurin and the Commanders. Marcus Mariota is set to start this week, while Jayden Daniels is back at practice and aiming for a return in the next couple of weeks. If Daniels and McLaurin can get hot down the stretch, they could offer some sneaky late-season production for struggling fantasy managers. For this week, though, McLaurin is a risky WR4. |

Link to storyWashington Commanders WR Terry McLaurin (quadriceps) intends to play in Week 13. 'I feel really good,' McLaurin said. '[I will] just continue to talk with the training staff, see what their plan is for the game. But I plan to play as much as I can -- and as much as they'll allow me to.'
| Footballguys view: McLaurin returns to the field in Week 13 against the Broncos. He's likely to see Pat Surtain, and that's a terrible matchup. McLaurin is a flex consideration with this matchup and what is forecast to be a rainy game. |

Washington Commanders QB Jayden Daniels (elbow) could realistically return in Week 14, according to sources.
| Footballguys view: Daniels is unlikely to play in Week 13 on Sunday night against the Broncos. This elbow injury was gnarly to watch, but he's been recovering at the appropriate rate. The Commanders have a lost season in 2025, but getting Daniels out there could help build momentum for 2026. |
Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels is not interested in being shut down for the rest of the season. With the Commanders at 3-8, there has been some thought that Daniels might not suit up again in 2025 to keep him healthy for 2026. But that's not really what Daniels wants. "If I'm back out there, I'm healthy, and I'm ready to go, I want to be out there," Daniels said.
| Footballguys view: Daniels suffered a nasty-looking elbow injury in Washington's Nov. 2 loss to Seattle. Head coach Dan Quinn said this week that Daniels is set to return to practice, though the quarterback has not yet been cleared for contact. Daniels added that he's been throwing, though he wouldn't put a timetable on how close he thinks he is to being able to return. Marcus Mariota is set to start against the Broncos on Sunday Night Football this week. |

Washington Commanders WR Terry McLaurin (quadriceps) participated in practice Monday, Nov. 24.
| Footballguys view: As CBSSports.com noted, Monday's practice represents McLaurin's first time handling on-field reps since aggravating his quad injury in Week 8. McLaurin will likely be cleared to retake the field against the Broncos on Sunday -- assuming he's able to ramp up his activity at practice throughout the week while avoiding any setbacks. We'll monitor as the week progresses. |

Washington Commanders WR Noah Brown (groin, knee) had his 21-day practice window opened Monday, Nov. 24.
| Footballguys view: Brown has played in two games this season and recorded three catches for 36 yards. He last played in Week 2 against the Packers before sustaining the groin injury that kept him sidelined up to this point. He was placed on IR on Oct. 15. Brown can be activated at any point during his 21-day window. If Brown were to reach the end of this period, the Commanders would need to decide whether to activate him or return him to IR for the rest of the season. |

Jayden Daniels will return to practice this week, but sources tell ESPN's Adam Schefter it is considered "unlikely" that he plays Sunday night against the Broncos.
| Footballguys view: According to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, Daniels, who was evaluated coming out of Washington's bye, is "a long shot" to play Sunday night. Still, it's progress in his return from a dislocated left elbow. Marcus Mariota will continue to start until Daniels is cleared to play. |

The Commanders officially added kicker Jake Moody to their 53-man roster on Tuesday, and they announced another roster move as well. They have waived wide receiver Jacoby Jones. Jones was signed to the roster last week.
| Footballguys view: Moody replaces Matt Gay, who was released on Monday after missing a pair of field goals in the Dolphins' loss. He was signed off the Bears' practice squad and appeared in two games for Chicago earlier this season. |

Washington Commanders RB Chase Edmonds reverted back to the practice squad Monday, Nov. 17, after being on the active roster for the Week 11 game.

Matt Gay is done kicking for the Commanders. Washington announced today that Gay has been released.
| Footballguys view: Gay has not played well this season, making just 13 of 19 field goals, and he missed two field goals in Sunday's overtime loss to the Dolphins. His 68.4 percent success rate ranks 32nd of the 34 kickers who have enough attempts to qualify this season. A 2019 fifth-round pick of the Buccaneers, Gay has also played for the Colts and Rams. |

Washington Commanders WR Jaylin Lane (hip) caught one pass for 13 yards against the Miami Dolphins in Week 11 before leaving the game because of a hip injury. He was targeted one time during the game.
| Footballguys view: Lane did not return to the game. We'll see if Terry McLaurin can return after the Washington bye in Week 12 to help a wide receiver group that has already lost Noah Brown and Luke McCaffrey for the season. |
Washington Commanders WR Chris Moore caught two passes for 28 yards against the Miami Dolphins in Week 11. He was targeted five times during the game.

Washington Commanders WR Deebo Samuel caught seven passes for 74 yards and one touchdown against the Miami Dolphins in Week 11. He was targeted eight times during the game. He also rushed for three yards on one carry.
| Footballguys view: Samuel broke a few chunk gains and got the only touchdown for the Commanders with a nice PPR foundation of short catches as the #1 target in the McLaurin-less pass offense. He'll go into the bye as a high floor WR3/Flex. |

Washington Commanders RB Jeremy McNichols rushed for 13 yards on four carries against the Miami Dolphins in Week 11. He also caught two passes for 16 yards during the game.

Washington Commanders RB Jacory Croskey-Merritt rushed for 28 yards on nine carries against the Miami Dolphins in Week 11. He also caught one pass for five yards during the game.
Link to storyWashington Commanders RB Chris Rodriguez Jr. rushed for 79 yards on 15 carries against the Miami Dolphins in Week 11. He also caught one pass for six yards during the game.
| Footballguys view: Rodriguez's performance should insure that he remains the lead back after the team's Week 12 bye. He's worth carrying through the bye if roster size allows, and early season sensation Jacory Croskey-Merritt can be dropped in redraft leagues for a backup running back who is playing in Week 12. If/when Jayden Daniels, the Washington running game will have more value, but Miami is a good matchup for opposing running games, so Rodriguez's upside will be modest in any event. |
Washington Commanders QB Marcus Mariota went 20-for-30 for 213 yards, one touchdown and one interception against the Miami Dolphins in Week 11. He also rushed for 49 yards on four carries during the game.
| Footballguys view: The Dolphins defense wasn't quite as spirited as it was in the Week 10 dominating win over Buffalo, but they were good enough to hold down a limited Washington offense with their starting quarterback and #1 receiver out. The Commanders loss could affect their decision of when and whether to bring Jayden Daniels back from his elbow injury. Mariota would face the Broncos if he's the Week 13 starter for Washington. |

Washington Commanders QB Jayden Daniels (elbow) was ruled out for Week 11. QB Marcus Mariota will start.
| Footballguys view: Some reports suggest Daniels could return after the Commanders' bye next week. If the Commanders lose to the Dolphins this week and fall to 3-8, there may be less of a rush to get him back. You can keep him stashed for now, but it's certainly possible his season is already over. |

Washington Commanders WR Terry McLaurin (quadriceps) was ruled out for Week 11.
| Footballguys view: A preseason contract holdout and multiple injuries have derailed McLaurin's season. He returned in Week 8 from a Week 3 quadriceps injury, only to immediately aggravate it. He hasn't practiced or played since. The Commanders go on bye next week, and McLaurin will hope to return after that. Dropping a player of McLaurin's talent is tough. Still, given the frustrations with his season and the outlook for the Commanders, it's tough to blame anyone willing to let McLaurin be someone else's problem for the rest of the season. |

Washington Commanders RB Chris Rodriguez Jr. (shoulder) fully participated in practice Thursday, Nov. 13.
| Footballguys view: A full participation for Rodriguez means he's set to go against the Dolphins in Week 11. Rodriguez is the lead back for the Commanders now, and he's an RB3/flex option for Fantasy GMs. |
Washington Commanders WR Terry McLaurin (quadriceps) did not participate in practice Thursday, Nov. 13.
| Footballguys view: He's not going to play against the Dolphins in Week 11. The Commanders have a bye in Week 12, then they're at home against the Broncos in Week 13. We'll see if McLaurin's quad injury is feeling better at that time. |

Washington Commanders RB Chris Rodriguez Jr. (shoulder) fully participated in practice Wednesday, Nov. 12.
| Footballguys view: Rodriguez rushed six times for 16 yards and one touchdown in the Commanders' Week 10 loss to the Lions. He banged up his shoulder in the third quarter, but he's back in action fully on Wednesday. That's a good sign for his Week 11 availability. Rodriguez is a touchdown-dependent flex play (at best) for Fantasy GMs. |

Washington Commanders WR Terry McLaurin (quad) is working towards a return but will not play in Week 11 against the Miami Dolphins.
| Footballguys view: The Commanders have a bye in Week 12, so McLaurin will get some extra time to heal. He's only played in four games this year, compiling just 13 catches for 203 yards and one touchdown. We'll see what his practice participation is like when the Commanders are getting ready to play the Broncos in Week 13. |
