Washington draft breakdown:
They're picking 9th right now.

With a win, they can fall behind:
10 - Atlanta (vs NO)
11 - Denver (vs KC)
12 - Minny (vs CHI)
13 - Cleveland (double loss needed)

With a loss, they can jump
8 - Chicago (at MIN)
7 - Seattle (at AZ)

Bad news for those hoping Washington would throw in the towel Sunday with the draft order in mind: Ron Rivera says they are playing to win in New York.

Rivera says Washington has to consider if playing Jamin Davis at MLB going forward makes the most sense or if he's better suited on the outside. This year looked like he was

— JP Finlay (@JPFinlayNBCS) January 3, 2022

First-round rookie LB Jamin Davis in the loss to Philly - Game 16 of 17 - played on just 13 (21%) of #WashingtonFootball’s defensive snaps. Journeyman LB David Mayo played on 40 (66%) of the #WFT’s defensive snaps. It is too early to call Davis a bust. But this is disturbing.

Ron Rivera after playoff elimination: "This offseason is going to be very important, very vital to what I see is the plan...It's time we see this team take that big step forward."

— JP Finlay (@JPFinlayNBCS) January 3, 2022

Ron Rivera said they will start QB Taylor Heinicke in the finale. Still a chance Kyle Allen will play.

— John Keim (@john_keim) January 3, 2022

TE Ricky Seals-Jones is in concussion protocol, per Rivera.

Had a whole game yesterday to put him on the Jumbotron and let fans cheer. Didnt do it. Now send a tweet? https://t.co/ktIh0MwJOz

Unconscionable that there wasn't even a 30-45 second video montage or something for Ryan Kerrigan. Ring of Fame caliber player who didn't get a proper send off last year bc of 0 fans in stands. Bet they've got the right benches though.

— Danny Rouhier (@funnydanny) January 3, 2022

Also going on the COVID list: LB Genard Avery, S Marcus Epps, G Nate Herbig, RB Jordan Howard, CB Avonte Maddox, S Rodney McLeod, RB Boston Scott, LB Alex Singleton, and TE Jack Stoll.

Probably the Cowboys since they play them on Saturday and said Eagles players don’t have to test again. They’ll probably spread it to the boys. Just in time for the playoffs. ‍♂️

36 NFL players went on COVID lists today. They all tested positive.

Expect Monday “spikes” to remain the norm through the playoffs as more fully vaccinated players volunteer for testing, starting the 5-day clock early if they’re positive so they don’t miss games.

— Tom Pelissero (@TomPelissero) January 3, 2022

And 1 offseason won’t solve all the problems when it comes to the relationship with fans. Not close. but the only way they can win many back is by building something worth rooting 4 over a sustained period. .. no sign the owner will sell or be forced out (if that’s the criteria)

— John Keim (@john_keim) January 3, 2022

Yep. Can’t botch it; people will come and go from the Org but fans have to live with it forever.

From @GMFB: How and why did #Bucs WR Antonio Brown end up storming off the field shirtless to end his Tampa Bay career? pic.twitter.com/nd6xq0xMLp

— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) January 3, 2022

If Bruce Arians ordered Antonio Brown to play and if Brown said he couldn't play because of his ankle injury and Arians persisted, that gives yesterday's incident a very different vibe. https://t.co/v00VG4YgrD

— ProFootballTalk (@ProFootballTalk) January 3, 2022

Bucs did not officially release WR Antonio Brown on today’s wire, per source. There are ongoing discussions with the NFL about how to move ahead in this situation.

— Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) January 3, 2022

The #Cardinals are signing veteran CB Bashaud Breeland to the practice squad, per source.

Breeland originally was supposed to sign a week ago, but tested positive for COVID-19 upon arrival. Now cleared and Arizona gets some experienced depth.

Mike Glennon recorded a QBR of 0.0 yesterday.

He did not have enough plays to officially qualify, but if he had, it would have been the worst QBR game in the history of the metric -- dating back to 2006.

Previous record was 0.3 by Peyton Manning in Week 10 of 2015 vs. Chiefs.

Buck and Aikman “shocked” Dallas doesn’t look as good as they did against Washington last week. Maybe because Washington fielded a rec team and, as much as Arizona has struggled, they are at least an NFL team.
