QB Garrett Gilbert to start for Washington Football Team, sources say

Garrett Gilbert will start at quarterback for the Washington Football Team on Tuesday night after neither Taylor Heinicke nor Kyle Allen were activated off the reserve/COVID-19 list, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter and Sal Paolantonio.

Both Washington and Philadelphia are 6-7 and currently a half-game behind New Orleans for the final playoff spot.

Gilbert was signed by Washington on Friday off New England's practice squad.
