Ron Rivera spoke to the media today due to this week's playoff game being on Saturday night. He opened up the presser with some pretty big news. The team might have to rotate starting QB Alex Smith with backup Taylor Heinicke. Smith is still dealing with a calf strain that caused him to miss 2 1/2 games. Smith played last week, but was not very mobile and looked limited. Heinicke was seen warming up on the sidelines, and Rivera said he considered putting him in, but Smith was able to finish the entire game and get the win.
The Washington Football Team will have to evaluate Smith's injury again this week and see if he can start, and then monitor him during the game if he is struggling.
