The Washington Commanders are contending with injuries to their running backs. Brian Robinson has a hamstring injury, Jonathan Williams is in the concussion protocol, and Chris Rodriguez rolled his ankle against the Jets. Rodriguez, who had a standout performance on Sunday, is scheduled for an MRI today. Coach Ron Rivera is waiting for updates on the injuries, including those to St-Juste (concussion) and Wylie (elbow), from head athletic trainer Al Bellamy this evening. Rodriguez was also seen with his right foot in a boot after the game. In response, the Commanders activated LB De’Jon Harris from the Reserve/Injured List and placed Chris Rodriguez Jr. on the Reserve/Injured List, ending his season.
