In a significant roster move, the Commanders announced on Thursday that running back Chris Rodriguez has been placed on injured reserve, ruling him out for the final two games of the season. Rodriguez sustained an ankle injury during last Sunday's game against the Jets and was unable to participate in practice on Wednesday.

Rodriguez had been enjoying a productive season, and his absence will be keenly felt by the team. In the recent 30-28 loss against the Jets, he displayed his skills on the field, carrying the ball 10 times for an impressive 58 yards. He also achieved his first two touchdowns of the season during that game. For the entirety of the season, Rodriguez had 51 carries for a notable 247 yards, along with two receptions for 12 yards across 13 games.

However, in a move to bolster the roster, the Commanders have activated linebacker De'Jon Harris from injured reserve. Harris has been sidelined since mid-November with a quad injury. Prior to his injury, he had appeared in six games, solely participating on special teams, and recording one tackle.

The Commanders will undoubtedly miss Rodriguez's contributions on the field, as he has been an integral part of the team's offense this season. However, the activation of De'Jon Harris should provide additional depth and support to the defense, especially on special teams.

As the Commanders head into their final two games of the season, it remains to be seen how they will adapt to the absence of Rodriguez and the return of Harris. The team will need to rally together and make strategic adjustments in order to finish the season on a strong note.
