NFL moves Washington-Eagles to Tuesday

The Washington Football Team will now play their Week 15 vs. Eagles on Tuesday.

After the Washington Football Team placed starting quarterback Taylor Heinicke on the reserve/COVID-19 list Friday, the NFL finally decided to move the WFT’s Sunday game against the Philadelphia Eagles.

Per Albert Breer of Sports Illustrated, Washington’s Week 15 game vs. Philadelphia will now be played on Tuesday, Dec. 21, at 7 p.m. ET.

Washington currently has 21 players on the COVID list. Center Keith Ismael was placed on the list Thursday but activated Friday after head coach Ron Rivera confirmed Ismael did not test positive for COVID but instead had the flu.

The NFL also moved the Seahawks and Rams to Tuesday. Saturday’s game between the Raiders and Browns was moved to Monday.

Now, the NFL has two games on Monday and two on Tuesday.

This is tricky timing for Washington. Not only is Week 15’s game against the Eagles on the road, but so is the Week 16 game at Dallas. That means Washington will lose practice time, have an extremely short week and go back on the road. Not the ideal circumstances for a team battling for a playoff spot.

We’ll keep you posted on the latest developments for Washington’s COVID crisis and Week 15.

Following the postponement of the Week 5 Denver Broncos at New England Patriots game, the NFL announced today the following schedule changes:

 

  • The Kansas City Chiefs at Buffalo Bills Week 6 game moves from Thursday, October 15 to Monday, October 19 at 5:00 p.m. ET on FOX/NFL Network/Amazon.

 

  • The Denver Broncos at New England Patriots game will be played in Week 6 on Sunday, October 18 at 1 p.m. ET on CBS.

 

  • The New York Jets at Miami Dolphins game moves from Week 10 to Week 6 at 4:05 p.m. ET on CBS.

 

  • The New York Jets at Los Angeles Chargers game moves from Week 6 to Week 11 on Sunday, November 22 at 4:05 p.m. ET on CBS.

 

  • The Jacksonville Jaguars at Los Angeles Chargers game moves from Week 8 to Week 7 on Sunday, October 25 at 4:25 p.m. ET on CBS.

 

  • The Los Angeles Chargers at Denver Broncos game moves from Week 11 to Week 8 on Sunday, November 1 at 4:05 p.m. ET on CBS.

This will be the third Monday night game for Kansas City so far this season after their Week 4 game against the New England Patriots was played on “Monday Night Football.” It’ll give the team a bit of extra time to prepare after a noon game on Sunday in Week 5.
