Chris Rodriguez Jr. is listed as inactive for the upcoming game against the Philadelphia Eagles, indicating he will not participate in this crucial matchup.

Chris Rodriguez Jr. is expected to share the rushing responsibilities for the Washington Commanders in the absence of Brian Robinson Jr., who is sidelined due to a hamstring injury.

Chris Rodriguez Jr. has been elevated from the practice squad three times already this season, and if he is promoted again, he would need to remain on the active roster due to NFL rules. Washington may consider promoting him or Michael Wiley from the practice squad to fill the running back position if Brian Robinson Jr. is unable to play against Pittsburgh.

Chris Rodriguez Jr. stepped up in the absence of starting running back Brian Robinson Jr., who was sidelined due to a hamstring injury. His performance, along with contributions from Austin Ekeler and Jeremy McNichols, exemplified the team's "next man up" mentality, showcasing the depth and resilience of the roster. Rodriguez's ability to carry the load in critical moments highlights the coaching staff's confidence in all players, regardless of their position on the depth chart.

Chris Rodriguez Jr. led the Commanders in rushing yards with 52, primarily in the second half of the game, after being elevated from the practice squad. Despite his performance, he remains the fourth running back on the depth chart and should be left on the waiver wire, as the team is managing the workload of their two healthy running backs.
