Ahead of their Christmas Day matchup, the Dallas Cowboys and Washington Commanders released their inactives. For Washington, a big name will not suit up.<\/p>\n
Commanders running back Chris Rodriguez<\/a> has been ruled out after appearing on the injury report Thursday morning with an illness. Washington announced he was questionable for the matchup, but will not be able to go.<\/p>\n For the Cowboys, linebacker DeMarvion Overshown<\/a> is also officially out. He did not practice this week as he works his way back from a concussion. Guard Tyler Booker<\/a> is up, though, while wide receiver Ryan Flournoy<\/a> is out due to a knee injury. Here is the full list of inactives for both teams.<\/p>\n Dallas Cowboys<\/p>\n Washington Commanders<\/p>\n The Cowboys will be going against a new quarterback in the NFC East matchup with the Commanders. Daniels is shut down for the year with an elbow injury, and Mariota got hurt last week. That means Josh Johnson<\/a> will get the nod<\/a> under center with Jeff Driskel<\/a> as the backup. Hartman is listed on the inactives list, but is serving as the emergency backup quarterback.<\/p>\n \u201cI thought I\u2019d give you some clarity on the plan at quarterback,\u201d said Commanders head coach\u00a0Dan Quinn<\/a> during his\u00a0Wednesday press conference<\/a>. \u201cAs we got through the week,\u00a0Josh Johnson\u00a0will start.\u00a0Jeff Driskel\u00a0will be the backup, and we\u2019re also signing\u00a0Sam Hartman\u00a0to the 53-man. He\u2019ll be the emergency third, so wanted to give you guys as much clarity as I had going through the week.\u201d<\/p>\n Across 18 seasons with 14 different teams \u2013 making him the most-traveled quarterback in league history \u2013 Johnson has completed 58.1% of his passes for 2,297 yards and 13 touchdowns with 16 interceptions. He is 1-8 in his previous nine starts.<\/p>\n The Cowboys are no longer in playoff contention entering Thursday\u2019s game against the Commanders. They have a 6-8-1 record, but fell out of the postseason race with last week\u2019s loss to the Los Angeles Chargers and Philadelphia Eagles win over the Commanders. Still, the NFC East rivalry between Dallas and Washington will kick off a tripleheader of NFL games on Christmas\u00a0\u2013 with the first two games airing on Netflix.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Ahead of their Christmas Day matchup, the Dallas Cowboys and Washington Commanders released their inactives.
