The Washington Football Team placed running back Antonio Gibson on the reserve/COVID-19 list, ruling him out for the game against the Philadelphia Eagles.
The reserve list for the final game of the season was placed on guard Ereck Flowers Sr.
Even though he has been dealing with nagging injuries, he has played every game this season for WFT. He has played through a variety of injuries, including a shin injury and a toe injury, to rush for 891 yards and six touchdown.
Washington's running back room is worth watching over the weekend, as Jaret Patterson will likely get the lion's share of the work.
Under the new rules of the NFL, Gibson will be able to return for Week 18's game against the New York Giants regardless of his vaccination status.
Washington has lost three straight games to fall out of playoff contention and is likely just playing out the string over the final two weeks of the season.
