Inactive Thursday Rodriguez (illness) is inactive for Thursday's game against the Cowboys.

Impact Rodriquez was added to the Commanders' injury report Thursday morning due to an illness, and now that he's been deemed inactive, look for Jacory Croskey-Merritt to lead a Week 17 backfield that also includes Jeremy McNichols and Chase Edmonds. Rodriquez will thus target a return to action in his team's season finale in Week 18 against the Eagles.

Questionable with illness Rodriguez (illness) has been added to Washington's injury report and is officially questionable for Thursday's game against the Cowboys.

Impact Rodriquez is a late addition to the Commanders' injury report and may simply have woken up ill Thursday morning. The third-year pro has logged four consecutive appearances with at least double-digit carries and scored twice in that span while working in a backfield split with Jacory Croskey-Merritt. As such, Croskey-Merritt would stand to benefit from an increased workload if Rodriquez can't go Thursday, while Jeremy McNichols and Chase Edmonds would be candidates to handle increased change-of-pace roles. Official word on Rodriquez's status will arrive no later than 90 minutes prior to Thursday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff.

Pads stats in garbage time Rodriguez rushed the ball 15 times for 63 yards and a touchdown in Saturday's 29-18 loss to the Eagles. He added one reception on one target for six yards.

Impact Rodriguez returned from a one-game absence and tied his season-high with both 15 carries and 16 touches. He worked in a relatively even split with Jacory Croskey-Merritt for much of the game, though Rodriguez was able to pad his stats in garbage time. Rodriguez recorded four rushing attempts and accounted for 38 yards and his touchdown on Washington's final possession with the team down three scores. The backfield remains fairly ambiguous heading into a Week 17 matchup against the Cowboys, though both Rodriguez and Croskey-Merritt should retain significant roles.

Practicing fully ahead of Week 16 Rodriguez (groin) was a full participant in Tuesday's practice, Ben Standig of Big 100 Washington D.C. reports.

Impact Rodriguez went DNP-limited-limited in practice last week and ended up being inactive for Sunday's win over the Giants. However, it now appears Rodriguez is ready to return to the lineup after missing one contest. Jacory Croskey-Merritt was impressive in Rodriguez's absence against the Giants, rushing for 82 yards and one touchdown on 10 carries. It will be interesting to see how Washington plans to divvy up early-down work between Rodrguez and Croskey-Merritt on Saturday against the Eagles.

Inactive in Week 15 Rodriguez (groin) is listed as inactive Sunday at the Giants.

Impact After being held out of Wednesday's practice due to a groin injury, Rodriguez capped Week 15 prep with back-to-back limited sessions, leaving him questionable for Sunday's game. With his lack of availability now confirmed, Rodriguez's workload from the last five contests (55 touches) likely will be split between Jacory Croskey-Merritt (45 during that span) and Jeremy McNichols (22), while Chase Edmonds also is on hand. Rodriguez's next chance to suit up is next Saturday against the Eagles.

Impact Rodriguez managed a pair of limited practices to end the week, but he remains very iffy for Sunday's matchup. Fantasy managers who roster Rodriguez should plan to check in around 90 minutes ahead of Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET start time to learn whether the third-year running back is going to be able to give it a shot. If Rodriguez ends up sitting out the contest, Jacory Croskey-Merritt and Jeremy McNichols will likely take on the bulk of Washington's RB reps.

Questionable for Sunday Rodriguez (groin) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game at the Giants.

Impact The Commanders listed Rodriguez as a limited participant Thursday and Friday, after holding him out from Wednesday's session. Jacory Croskey-Merritt and Jeremy McNichols will take on larger roles if Rodriguez is declared inactive before the 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff Sunday.

DECEMBER 12 • ROTOWIRE

Upgrades to limited Thursday Rodriguez (groin) was a limited participant at Thursday's practice.

Impact Rodriguez didn't practice Wednesday, so Thursday's limited participation marks a step in the right direction. He has received a plurality of touches in Washington's backfield in recent weeks, working slightly ahead of Jacory Croskey-Merritt and Jeremy McNichols. If Rodriguez maintains that role Sunday, he could find success against a vulnerable Giants run defense, but he may need to upgrade to full participation Friday to avoid an injury designation.

DNP due to groin issue Rodriguez didn't practice Wednesday due to a groin injury.

Impact Over the last five games, Rodriguez has taken on the largest workload in the Commanders backfield, taking on 55 touches (for 259 total yards and three TDs) to Jacory Croskey-Merritt's 45 and Jeremy McNichols' 22. With a health concern now in tow, though, Rodriguez's status will need to be monitored as the week goes on to get a sense of his odds to play Sunday at the Giants.

DECEMBER 10 • ROTOWIRE

Hurt by game script in Week 14 Rodriguez gained 52 rushing yards on 10 carries in Sunday's 31-0 loss to the Vikings.

Impact As the game got away from the Commanders the rushing attack became less of a factor, hurting Rodriguez's volume despite his healthy 5.2 yards per carry. The third-year back also failed to get into the end zone for only the second time in the last seven games. Jayden Daniels' return from an elbow injury only lasted a little over three quarters Sunday, but Rodriguez has found ways to be productive with Marcus Mariota under center as well, and he might be able to exploit a soft Week 15 matchup against the Giants.
