Washington Football Team vs Carolina Panthers Inactives: Antonio Gibson is active

The Washington Football Team released their final injury report for today’s game on Friday and ruled LB Thomas Davis Sr.(knee) as OUT. They also listed Kevin Pierre-Louis(ankle), Antonio Gibson(toe), and Alex Smith(calf) as questionable, and Terry McLaurin(ankle) as doubtful.

The only player from that list that will be active today is Antonio Gibson. He makes his return to the field after suffering turf toe against the Pittsburgh Steelers 3 weeks ago. Washington will have J.D. McKissic and Peyton Barber backing him up. Newly signed RB Lamar Miller will be inactive again, which might be a good sign the team has faith in Gibson's health today.

The team signed QB Taylor Heinicke from the practice squad to back up Dwayne Haskins Jr. Last week. QB Steven Montez was also elevated from the practice squad with Alex Smith out again.

Kevin Pierre-Louis is missing another game due to ankle injury. Washington signed veteran LB Mychal Kendricks from the Seahawks practice squad this week. He flew privately, allowing him to be available today with recent changes to the NFL's COVID-19 protocols. Ron Rivera said he would likely see the field this week, but they would ease him in since he hasn't played this season.
