ASHBURN, Va. -- The Washington Football Team continues to be hit hard by COVID-19 after placing starting running back Antonio Gibson and left guard Ereck Flowers on the reserve/COVID-19 list Friday.
That potentially further weakens a lineup entering Sunday's pivotal game against the Philadelphia Eagles (8-7). Washington (6-9) remains a playoff long shot but could stay in the race by beating the Eagles.
Both Gibson and Flowers are vaccinated and could technically come off the list before Sunday's game by testing negative twice at the same time. They could also test negative once, and if their cycle threshold test reading indicates that they're not contagious, they could play.
