WFT will have most of their defensive line when they take on the Eagles on Tuesday night. Washington Football Team announced that they’ve activated the following four players from the reserve/COVID-19 list:
DT Jonathan Allen- DE James Smith-Williams
- DE Montez Sweat
- DE Casey Toohill
Sweat, who is currently on injured reserve, was also designated for return, meaning his return to the field is imminent. Washington has been without Sweat since Week 8. The first-string defensive end had been recovering from a fractured jaw, and he intended to return to practice on Wednesday. A first-round Washington draftee, Sweat has registered four sacks this season and has 20 for his career. The Mississippi State product has forced two fumbles in each of his three seasons.
When fully healthy, Allen and Sweat should sit atop the depth chart. Smith-Williams and Toohill, who have both been forced into significant roles on the defensive line following injuries to Sweat and Chase Young, will be able to settle back into their backup/special teams roles.
We learned yesterday that the NFL was pushing Sunday’s WFT/Eagles game to Tuesday.
Yeah but is he still going to play this week?
So the Eagles get punished and the Skins get their unvaxxed player back? Three divisional games in 13 days. Hooray for player safety.
Eagles get Hurts back, not exactly a punishment. Cowboys and Saints each played 3 games in 11 days so get over it.
