The Facts: Washington is set to be without a large number of players and coaches because of COVID-19 and they will also be missing a couple of players because of injuries. The team announced that McKissic and wide receiver Curtis Samuel have been ruled out for Tuesday’s game against the Eagles.
Diehards Line:
McKissic has a concussion and has not played since Week 12 while Samuel has a hamstring injury. It will be the ninth game that Samuel misses because of injury this season. Washington also listed tight end Ricky Seals-Jones as questionable to play because of an illness. The team has gotten a handful of players back from the COVID-19 reserve list over the last few days and they can get more back on Tuesday if tests come back negative or with a low enough viral load.
