After a game in which Washington was forced to almost play with one hand tied behind their backs, missing starters like Alex Smith, Antonio Gibson, Deshazor Everett, Cole Holcomb, and Kevin Pierre-Louis, the team is understandably looking forward to getting back to a sense of normalcy next week, hopefully…
That normalcy could mean that Smith will be healthy enough to play after dealing with a calf strain this week, and Rivera confirmed that he would be the starting QB if he was ready to play. Rivera also noted that Washington was hopeful to get Gibson back on the field, after he’s missed the past the past two games with a turf toe injury that he suffered early on against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
