Washington Commanders Roster Moves: Javontae Jean-Baptiste activated from IR

The Washington Commanders announced a pair of roster moves before their gone game against the Dallas Cowboys tomorrow. DE Javontae Jean-Baptiste was activated from injured reserve and he will make his return after missing the last four games with an ankle injury. His 21-day practice window was opened on Wednesday, and JJB was a full participant all week. He is still listed as questionable, but he's expected to play vs the Cowboys.

The Commanders needed to make a roster move to open up a spot for Jean-Baptiste, and that means RB Chris Rodriguez Jr got released. He was on the practice squad to start the year, but was signed to the 52-man roster when starter Brian Robinson Jr was dealing with a hamstring injury.
