According to Schultz, Rodriguez “aggravated an old ankle injury,” and he’s likely to miss just one game as a result. It sounds like Rodriguez will miss Week 9’s game against the Packers but should have a chance to suit up in Week 10 when they visit the Texans.

Rodriguez was hurt on a kickoff return in the first quarter and had to be carted off the field. The third-year pro is third on the team in sacks and sixth on the team in tackles, so his loss would be a meaningful one for a banged-up defense. It would also be good news for Tony Pollard the rest of the game.
