The Facts: Fitzpatrick's 2021 season is expected to be over. The Washington Football Team's season-opening starting quarterback has too long of a road back from a hip subluxation and multiple sources say it's highly unlikely that he returns this year. That means Washington will have to rely on Taylor Heinicke and the QBs already in the room going forward, including today againswt the Bucs.

Diehards Line:Fitzpatrick, who was injured in Week 1 and placed on IR, is still dealing with swelling and pain in the hip and groin area, sources tell NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Based on his current status, he's been focused on treatment, rather than rehab and working out to get back on the football field. That part of the process has yet to begin. He has another MRI in a few weeks to check his progress. If that shows vast improvement, perhaps Fitzpatrick can begin working out again. But based on where his hip is, the belief is he won't see the field again this year.
