Washington-Philadelphia Game Postponed To Tuesday
3 years agoThe Week 15 game between the Washington Football Team and Philadelphia Eagles originally scheduled for Sunday is expected to be postponed for Tuesday, according to sources. If the postponed games had been cancelled, players would not have gotten paid for the week. Washington has had a COVID-19 outbreak this week and are currently down to a third-string quarterback (Garrett Gilbert) that they had to sign with Taylor Heinicke and Kyle Allen both on the COVID-19 list. Washington's defense has been decimated by the virus this week as well. With the game now on Tuesday, it'll allow all players currently on the COVID-19 list some extra time to test negative and be cleared to play.
