Commanders' Chris Rodriguez: Just two snaps in Week 8
Rodriguez carried once for two yards while playing two of the Commanders' 53 snaps on offense in Monday's 28-7 loss to the Chiefs.
Rodriguez has now played single-digit snaps in three straight games, all of which were Commanders losses. As an early-down specialist, Rodriguez will likely have a role in grinding out the clock when the Commanders are sitting on a lead, but he's been almost entirely phased out of the game plan while Washington has been in tight games or has faced large deficits over the past three weeks.

Commanders' Chris Rodriguez: Scores in loss
Rodriguez rushed three times for 12 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 44-22 loss to the Cowboys.
The 25-year-old from Kentucky played a depth role in the Commanders' backfield again in the Week 7 loss, playing behind rookie Jacory Croskey-Merritt (13 carries for 33 yards) and Jeremy McNichols (two carries for 22 yards). However, Rodriguez was the only running back to find the end zone, receiving a goal-line carry in the third quarter. He's now rushed 26 times for 117 yards and one touchdown through five appearances this season. Expect Rodriguez to play a reserve role in Washington's backfield again in Week 8, when the team travels to Kansas City.

Commanders' Chris Rodriguez: Spotted at practice Friday
Rodriguez (calf) is participating in practice Friday, Nicki Jhabvala of The Athletic reports.
Rodriguez had been listed as a non-participant on Washington's previous five practice reports, so this is a step in the right direction, though it remains to be seen if he'll be listed as a full or limited participant Friday. He was active for Monday's loss to the Bears but logged only one offensive snap, opening up more opportunities for Jeremy McNichols alongside Jacory Croskey-Merritt.

Commanders' Chris Rodriguez: Clear for Week 7
Rodriguez (calf) practiced fully Friday and doesn't have a designation for Sunday's game at Dallas, Commanders writer Ben Standig reports.
Rodriguez practiced for the first time since Week 5 prep as he tended to a calf injury the last two weeks. Friday's uncapped session likely indicates that he's close to 100 percent, but it's unclear if he'll be able to carve out much of a role behind starter Jacory Croskey-Merritt and complementary option Jeremy McNichols in the Commanders backfield this weekend. Rodriguez logged just one offensive snap during Monday's loss to the Bears, failing to see a touch for the first time in his four appearances this season.

Commanders' Chris Rodriguez: Another missed practice
Rodriguez (calf) was a non-participant at Thursday's practice.
Rodriguez has logged 'DNPs' for five consecutive practices due to a lingering calf injury, but he still suited up this past Monday against the Bears and managed one offensive snap and three on special teams. With Jacory Croskey-Merritt leading the way and Jeremy McNichols filling in behind him, Rodriguez isn't a big part of the Commanders backfield at the moment, and it remains to be seen if he'll take on more work once he's back to full health.

Commanders' Chris Rodriguez: DNP at walkthrough
Rodriguez (calf) missed Wednesday's jog-through.
Rodriguez has been listed as a DNP on four straight injury reports due to a calf injury, but he logged one snap on offense and three on special teams during Monday's loss to the Bears. Jacory Croskey-Merritt (66 percent snap share) and Jeremy McNichols (32 percent) ultimately handled the rest of the backfield reps and likely will continue to do so moving forward, even when Rodriguez's health is back to normal.

Commanders' Chris Rodriguez: Plays one snap in MNF loss
Rodriguez didn't touch the ball on one offensive snap in Monday night's loss to the Bears.
Rodriguez had played between 15 and 22 offensive snaps in each of the previous three games since Austin Ekeler's season-ending torn Achilles suffered in Week 2. Against Chicago, however, the Commanders simplified their backfield with Jacory Croskey-Merritt handling early-down duties and Jeremy McNichols as the clear pass-catching back. Rodriguez carries extremely minimal fantasy value at the moment.

Commanders' Chris Rodriguez: Suiting up Monday
Rodriguez (calf) is active for Monday's game against the Bears.
Despite not practicing in any capacity due to a calf injury in advance of this contest, Rodriguez will be available to the Commanders offense, but in what role remains to be seen. Washington didn't elevate a running back from the practice squad Monday, instead opting to bring up two wide receivers to support a banged-up group, so Rodriguez seemingly has a good chance to mix into the backfield behind Jacory Croskey-Merritt along with Jeremy McNichols. In three prior outings with that trio available, Rodriguez racked up 23 carries for 105 yards and no touchdowns.

Commanders' Chris Rodriguez: Status in question for Monday
Rodriguez (calf) is listed as questionable for Monday's game versus the Bears.
Rodriguez officially was listed as a DNP on all three of the Commanders' Week 6 practice reports due to a calf injury, but the team still is giving him a chance to suit up Monday. Even if he's available, though, he'll be a complementary option at best along with Jeremy McNichols behind Jacory Croskey-Merritt. Such a role has amounted to 23 carries for 105 yards and no touchdowns and zero targets in three contests this season.

Commanders' Chris Rodriguez: Listed as DNP on Friday
Rodriguez (calf) is listed as a non-participant on Friday's practice estimate.
Rodriguez didn't practice Thursday and apparently wouldn't have partaken Friday if the Commanders had held a practice. A return Saturday could still give him a chance to play Monday against the Bears, though all signs point to Jacory Croskey-Merritt leading Washington's backfield this week.

Commanders' Chris Rodriguez: DNP due to calf Thursday
Rodriguez (calf) was a non-participant in Thursday's practice.
Rodriguez still has two chances to raise his practice participation level before Washington reveals its Week 6 injury report for Monday's game against the Bears. If Rodriguez doesn't play against Chicago, that could open up more opportunities for Jeremy McNichols to work in a change-of-pace role behind lead back Jacory Croskey-Merritt.

Commanders' Chris Rodriguez: Held to seven yards Sunday
Rodriguez took five carries for seven yards and was not targeted as a receiver in Sunday's 27-10 win over the Chargers.
Jacory Croskey-Merritt (14-111-2) stole the show on offense in Sunday's victory, leaving nothing but scraps for the rest of Washington's backfield committee. Rodriguez still finished second in running back touches ahead of Jeremy McNichols (1-6-0), but neither backup made a fantasy impact behind Croskey-Merritt's huge performance. With his teammate breaking out in impressive fashion, Rodriguez should remain waiver-wire fodder in Week 6 against the Bears.
