The Washington Football Team had a good day Sunday when the team added no new players to the reserve/COVID-19 list. Unfortunately for Washington, Monday morning began with some bad news as All-Pro guard Brandon Scherff was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list.

Washington, down to its fourth center of the season, will now be without one of its offensive line anchors ahead of a big NFC East battle vs. Philadelphia Tuesday night.
Wes Schweitzer is Washington’s top backup guard and always starts when Scherff is out, is on injured reserve.
Scherff is a significant loss for Washington at any time, but especially now with so many other starters out. Washington must run the ball to be successful, which becomes more difficult without Scherff.
In more positive news for Washington, defensive tackle Matt Ioannidis is expected to be activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list Monday.
Washington hopes to receive good news on at least one of its quarterbacks, Taylor Heinicke or Kyle Allen, who were both placed on the COVID list last week.
