Washington Football Team guard Brandon Scherff to go on COVID-19 list, source says; 7 assistants in protocols

ASHBURN, Va. -- The Washington Football Team will place All-Pro guard Brandon Scherff on the reserve/COVID-19 list, dealing another blow to an already ravaged roster, a source told ESPN on Monday.

In addition, Washington's coaching staff was decimated with seven assistants being placed in COVID-19 protocols, including running backs coach Randy Jordan, defensive line coach Sam Mills Jr. and receivers coach Drew Terrell. All will miss Tuesday's game at the Philadelphia Eagles.

Washington will see the return of another defensive lineman, putting that group at near-full strength. Washington will activate defensive tackle Matt Ioannidis, the source said, making him the fifth defensive linemen to come off the list in the last three days.
