The final injury report is in for the Washington Football Team in their Week 17 game against the Philadelphia Eagles, and it contains more bad news.
Cornerback William Jackson III is the only Washington player listed as out. However, with Darryl Roberts already on the reserve/COVID-19 list, Washington is extremely thin at the cornerback position. Kendall Fuller, Danny Johnson, Corn Elder and Troy Apke will be the WFT’s corners. Safety Bobby McCain can also play corner and Washington could activate veteran D.J. Hayden from the practice squad.
DE Montez Sweat, DE James Smith-Williams and WR Curtis Samuel are all questionable Sunday. Sweat missed practice all week after the tragic death of his brother earlier this week.
If Samuel plays, fans probably shouldn’t expect too much.
The absence of Jackson comes on the heels of more bad COVID-19 news for Washington. The WFT placed RB Antonio Gibson and LG Ereck Flowers on the reserve/COVID-19 list Friday. This comes the day after Washington placed RT Sam Cosmi and P Tress Way on the COVID list.
The only player ruled out for the Eagles was RB Miles Sanders. RB Jordan Howard is questionable.
