The Philadelphia Eagles placed Quez Watkins and Jason Huntley on the reserve/COVID-19 list, according to an official announcement from the team.
While we certainly hope both players are doing well, Watkins is the bigger news item here since he’s a starter and Huntley is a practice squad member.
If he’s not vaccinated, Watkins is automatically ineligible to return to the roster for at least 10 days. If he is vaccinated, Watkins must produce two negative COVID tests at least 24 hours apart in order to be activated. Based on precedent, there’s a decent chance Watkins misses this week’s game against the Washington Football Team.
