Another day, another addition to the Washington Football Team’s reserve/COVID-19 list. This time it’s, uh, a pretty big one. Starting quarterback Taylor Heinicke tested positive for COVID and is in jeopardy of missing Sunday’s Week 15 game against the Philadelphia Eagles.
Washington backup quarterback Kyle Allen went on the COVID list earlier this week. Assuming he doesn’t test out of the protocol, which is now more possible (need to be asymptomatic and have ONE negative test as opposed to two), Washington will be down to their third string quarterback option. Or fourth, really, if you consider original Week 1 starter Ryan Fitzpatrick is on injured reserve.
