Redskins' Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie: IR bound
Rodgers-Cromartie was placed on injured reserve Wednesday and will have ankle surgery, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.
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.

Redskins' Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie: Lacing up cleats again
Rodgers-Cromartie signed a contract with the Redskins on Friday, Kareem Copeland of The Washington Post reports.
Rodgers-Cromartie appeared in seven games with the Raiders last season before announcing his retirement, but has decided to return to the NFL after a brief hiatus. The two-time Pro Bowler will reunite with Landon Collins in Washington's secondary, whom he played with from 2015-17 with the Giants. In his 11-year career, Rodgers-Cromartie has accumulated 451 tackles, 30 interceptions and seven forced fumbles.

Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie: Coming out of retirement
Rodgers-Cromartie has been reinstated in the NFL and wants to resume his playing career in 2019, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
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.

Raiders' Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie: Questionable for Week 4
Rodgers-Cromartie (hamstring) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Browns, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.
Rodgers-Cromartie serves as a depth cornerback in Oakland's secondary, so his availability shouldn't have a large impact on Week 4's game. The severity of the veteran's injury remains undisclosed, and he could be a game-time decision.

Raiders' Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie: Signs with Oakland
Rodgers-Cromartie signed a contract with the Raiders on Wednesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
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 he could easily be ready to suit up for the preseason finale next week.

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

Giants' Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie: Informed of release
The Giants have informed Rodgers-Cromartie of his release, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
The Giants asked Rodgers-Cromartie to take a pay cut and apparently weren't able to work anything out. Set to celebrate his 32nd birthday in April, the veteran cornerback shouldn't have too much trouble landing a contract from another team, as he's still capable of working outside or in the slot, even if he's not quite the player he once was. DRC's release increases the odds of the Giants re-signing Ross Cockrell, along with hinting at a desire to give 2016 first-round pick Eli Apple another shot. Janoris Jenkins (ankle) is the only safe bet among the team's remaining cornerbacks.

Giants' Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie: Giants requesting pay cut
The Giants are asking Rodgers-Cromartie to take a sizable pay cut for the 2018 season, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
Rodgers-Cromartie is due a $6.48 million base salary for 2018 and is set for a cap hit of $8.5 million. The veteran cornerback was being considered for a move to safety this offseason as well, but it appears his time with the Giants could be nearing an end if the two sides are unable to come to terms on a lesser salary.
