— RB Chris Rodriguez Jr. is questionable— Washington Commanders (@Commanders) October 4, 2023
Update, Oct. 3 — Dotson is dealing with an ankle injury that has limited him at practice on Monday and Tuesday. It is a short week for the Commanders, so he will have one more practice before trying to suit up for Thursday’s game against Chicago.

— Washington Commanders (@Commanders) October 3, 2023
Washington Commanders wide receiver Jahan Dotson was out with the rest of the team on Tuesday for a “jog-through” ahead of their Week 5 matchup against the Chicago Bears. The teams face off on Thursday, October 5. Dotson was dealing with an ankle injury following the Commanders’ overtime loss to the Eagles in Week 4.
Fantasy football implications for Week 5
It looks like Dotson will be able to play on Thursday against the Bears. He had four receptions for 27 yards and a touchdown in Week 4, and has 110 receiving yards over the first four weeks of this season.
Curtis Samuel is questionable, so if he is limited at all, Dotson will likely see an uptick in receiving yards. He splits receptions with Terry McLaurin and TE Logan Thomas, as well. The Bears defense has not been particularly good this year, so this could be a solid fantasy earnings week for the Commanders receivers.
