Washington’s roster situation went from WTF to why bother playing this morning with the news that Taylor Heinicke has tester positive for COVID-19 and will be placed on the reserve list. Kyle Allen was placed on the list earlier in the week and QB Jordan Ta’amu was signed to the practice squad as an emergency 3rd string QB. Washington is now signing Garrett Gilbert from the New England Patriots and according to one report, he could actually get the start on Sunday, despite never even taking a snap in practice with the team. Another report says that practice squad QB Kyle Shurmur, who has been with Washington all year, would start on Sunday vs the Eagles if Heinicke and Allen remain on the Reserve/COVID-19 list.
