The final injury report is in for the Week 5 edition of Thursday Night Football, featuring the Washington Commanders and Chicago Bears.
The news is good for the Commanders. Wide receivers Jahan Dotson (ankle) and Curtis Samuel (quad) will play. Rookie running back Chris Rodriguez Jr., who is the third on the depth chart, is questionable. Rodriguez missed practice last week and the game with an illness.
As for the Bears, three players are ruled out for Thursday:
- S Eddie Jackson: Foot
- CB Jaylon Johnson: Hamstring
- WR Chase Claypool: Non-injury related
Two others are questionable for Chicago:
- S Jaquan Brisker: Hamstring
- OL Teven Jenkins: Calf
The injury news coming out of a physical game against the Eagles was good news for the Commanders.
Losing Jackson and Johnson is a big blow for the Chicago secondary, which has already struggled to stop the pass.
