The Washington Football Team added eight players to its reserve/COVID list on Wednesday, bringing their total to 18.

Washington has placed 14 players on the list this week, with four holdovers from last week. They are scheduled to play the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday. Both teams are 6-7 with big-time playoff implications on the line.

Of those 18 players, nine were possible starters Sunday for the Football Team.

"We're in meetings and one of the guys told me someone else had it, it's like, 'Here's another one; there's another one,'" guard Brandon Scherff said. "Like coach Rivera said, 'Next man up.' It's a big opportunity for them to show everyone what they've got."
