Washington Football team activates defensive linemen Jonathan Allen, Montez Sweat from COVID-19 list

ASHBURN, Va. -- The Washington Football Team received its first bit of good news regarding the reserve/COVID-19 list as it returned four defensive linemen, including Jonathan Allen and Montez Sweat, to the active roster, the team announced Saturday morning.

Sweat remains on injured reserve, though Washington designated him to return to practice. He's expected to be activated off the list in time for Tuesday's game at Philadelphia (6-7). Sweat hasn't played since fracturing his jaw in an Oct. 31 loss at Denver.

Washington (6-7) also activated defensive ends James Smith-Williams and Casey Toohill off the COVID-19 list.
