Two Starting Washington Defensive Linemen Placed on Covid-19 List; Team Now Without Top 4 Defensive Ends for Game Against Dallas

By MCS Staff

The Washington Football Team has won four games in a row to put them in the 6th (of 7) playoff spots in the NFC. A win today against the rival Dallas Cowboys would put them within a game of the division, but they’ll have to give it their best without their top 4 defensive ends.

Chase Young suffered a season ending injury earlier this year and Montez Sweat was dealing with a broken jaw that landed him on injured reserve. There was hope he’d be available to play prior to being placed on the Covid-19 list earlier this week.
