The Facts: According to multiple reports, the game between Washington and the Eagles will be moving. The game was set for 1 p.m. ET on Sunday and will now get underway at 7 p.m. ET on Tuesday night.
Diehards Line:
Like the Raiders-Browns game that's been moved to Monday night, the games are moving because of ongoing COVID-19 outbreaks. The Browns and Washington have both put at least 20 players on their COVID-19 reserve lists over the last week or so. Under the revised protocols put in place by the league this week, it will be easier for asymptomatic and vaccinated players to test their way off the COVID-19 list but it’s not guaranteed that Washington will be in considerably stronger shape by Tuesday. The delay probably won’t be met with too many smiles by the Eagles, who will now have to play the Giants on a short week in Week 16, but it does give quarterback Jalen Hurts a bit more time for his ankle to heal before gameday.
