New York Jets QB Aaron Rodgers OUT vs. Washington Commanders – Injury Tracker
Throughout the season, check out Commander Country’s injury tracker for all your Washington Commanders injury reports week in and week out.
DEC 19 AARON RODGERS OUT VS. COMMANDERS Rumors of Aaron Rodgers’ return against the Washington Commanders won’t come to fruition.
The New York Jets quarterback went on ESPN’s Pat McAfee Show for his weekly appearance and said he isn’t medically cleared to return. Earlier this month, Rodgers was reportedly eyeing a return on Sunday against the Commanders.
The Jets were eliminated from playoff contention on Sunday with their 30-0 loss to the Miami Dolphins, which likely factored into his decision to return.
The Commanders face the Jets on Sunday at 1 p.m. ET at MetLife Stadium.

DT Aaron Donald was questionable with a groin injury but is active.
UPDATE: During pregame position drills Commanders defensive tackle John Ridgeway came up limping and was escorted off the field and into the locker room by team trainers.
UPDATE 2: Ridgeway was able to come out with his teammates for the start of the game.
While we didn’t see what happened exactly, and no official report has been passed down from the team, it’s safe to report Ridgeway’s status is at least in question as Washington prepares to take on the Los Angeles Rams in Week 15.
DEC 16 AARON DONALD QUESTIONABLE The Los Angeles Rams could be playing the Washington Commanders without one of their best players.
According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, Rams defensive tackle Aaron Donald is questionable with a groin injury.
The Commanders and Rams are set to kickoff at 4:05 p.m. ET.
DEC 15 BRIAN ROBINSON JR. OUT, EMMANUEL FORBES ACTIVE FOR SUNDAY The Washington Commanders will be without one of their top offensive weapons on Sunday against the Los Angeles Rams.
Commanders running back Brian Robinson Jr. was ruled out on Friday due to a hamstring injury. He suffered the injury on Dec. 3 against the Miami Dolphins and was unable to practice on Wednesday or Thursday.
Defensive end James Smith-Williams is also out with a hamstring injury. Tight end Curtis Hodges was placed on the Injured Reserve due to a back injury.
Rookie cornerback Emmanuel Forbes will be active against the Rams. Forbes, who practiced fully throughout the week, had missed Washington’s last two games due to an elbow injury.
Washington will get a boost on the offensive line with the return of Saahdiq Charles. He was activated off of the Injured Reserve after missing six games with a calf injury.
The Commanders (4-9) face the Rams (6-7) at 4:05 p.m. ET on Sunday at SoFi Stadium.
