The Washington Football Team received some good news on Sunday morning when it was revealed starting running back Antonio Gibson, and defensive tackle Matt Ioannidis will play vs. the Falcons in Week 4.
Both players were listed as questionable on Friday. Gibson injured his shin at some point in last week’s game and is still dealing with the injury. Head coach Ron Rivera expressed confidence on Friday that Gibson would give it a go on Sunday.
Ioannidis injured his knee in the win over the Giants in Week 2. He missed last week’s game at Buffalo.
Through three games, Gibson has rushed for 190 yards on 45 attempts. He is averaging 4.2 yards per attempt. While he hasn’t found the end zone carrying the football, he did have Washington’s highlight of the week against the Bills when he took a screen pass 76 yards to the house.
Atlanta’s defense should offer Washington plenty of opportunities to run the football successfully.
