Rodgers-Cromartie was placed on injured reserve Wednesday and will have ankle surgery, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Rodgers-Cromartie suffered a torn ligament in his ankle, according to Ben Standig of The Athletic. The veteran cornerback started in Week 2 because Quinton Dunbar (knee) and Fabian Moreau (ankle) were out, and the Redskins likely will rely on Jimmy Moreland and Simeon Thomas -- in addition to Josh Norman -- if neither Dunbar nor Moreau are healthy for Week 3's game versus the Bears. Rodgers-Cromartie could be activated from IR in Week 11, although there isn't a specific timeline for his recovery.

EDGE Analysis

Rodgers-Cromartie shocked many people when he abruptly retired last October after appearing in seven games for the Raiders. Considering he didn't have much of a market before settling for a one-year deal with Oakland last offseason, it's no sure thing the impending 33-year-old will be able to land anything more than a depth role this time around.

Rodgers-Cromartie announced via his personal Instagram on Tuesday, he has retired from the NFL.

EDGE Analysis

The 32-year-old cornerback settled into a depth role with the Raiders this season, accumulating eight tackles (eight solo) and one forced fumble.

EDGE Analysis

EDGE Analysis

Rodgers-Cromartie slides into a revamped Raiders' cornerback group that also added free agents Rashaan Melvin, Daryl Worley, Leon Hall, Shareece Wright and fourth-round pick Nick Nelson this spring. DRC seems unlikely to play in Friday's preseason game against the Packers with such a quick turnaround, but could easily be ready to suit up for the preseason finale next week.

Rodgers-Cromartie had a workout with the Raiders on Wednesday, Josina Anderson of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Rodgers-Cromartie was released by the Giants in March after being unable to agree on a pay reduction, and somewhat surprisingly remains a free agent with the regular season only a couple weeks away. The 32-year-old played 15 games with New York last season and went without an interception for the first time since 2011, while adding only one pass breakup.
