The Commanders will be without running back Chris Rodriguez for their Christmas Day game against the Cowboys due to an illness, having been listed as questionable earlier. Rodriguez, who has 435 rushing yards and five touchdowns this season, is a key offensive player. Quarterback Josh Johnson will start, while other notable inactive players include Sam Hartman and Laremy Tunsil. The Cowboys will also be missing several players, including linebacker DeMarvion Overshown and running back Jaydon Blue.
