Washington Football Team inactives against Tampa Bay:
QB Alex Smith (calf)
LB Thomas Davis (knee)
LB Jordan Kunaszyk
OT David Steinmetz
RB Lamar Miller
WR Antonio Gandy-Golden— Rhiannon Walker (@InstantRHIplay) January 9, 2021
We got the news earlier in the day that Washington quarterback Alex Smith would not be active for the wild-card game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Saturday night, leaving QB Taylor Heinicke to receive his second-career start and first career playoff start.
Outside of the QB position, Washington got some good news, with both WR Terry McLaurin and RB Antonio Gibson being ruled active for the game, expecting to assume their normal workloads. Both players were held out of full practice this week, dealing with a couple of different leg injuries, but Washington will get both of them on offense in a game where they need all the help they can get.
For the Bucs, both WR Mike Evans and CB Carlton Davis have been ruled active, so Tampa will be with most of their starting players as well, minus LB Devin White, who is on the COVID/Reserve list.
