Team news: Washington Football Team

Washington RB Antonio Gibson (shoulder) listed as FULL in practice today.

Gibson was listed as limited on Monday so this is certainly good news. Gibson and The Football Team host the Giants on Thursday night. He is shaping up to be a nice RB1 start. The Broncos Melvin Gordon and Javonte Williams combined for a line of 25-146-1 in Week 1 against the G-men.

Timeline update: WFT QB Ryan Fitzpatrick, who is being placed on injured reserve today, is expected to miss 6-8 weeks with the hip injury he suffered Sunday, per source.

Taylor Heinicke time.

The WFT said today they are going to stay in-house for their quarterback so they are expected to stick with Heinicke. It remains to be seen if Fitz is able to get his job back in that timeframe. If Heinicke is playing well, it's easy to see they continue to roll with Heinicke. Heinicke is worth a pickup in multi-QB and superflex leagues.

Washington Football Team QB Ryan Fitzpatrick suffered a hip subluxation, knocking him out several weeks and likely meaning a stint on IR. He'll have an MRI today to determine how much time he'll miss.

It's essentially a dislocated hip. Rapoport said it could go a couple of different ways - it could be extremely serious where he doesn't play at all for the rest of this year, or it could be minor. But at the very least, Fitz is going to miss several weeks, so a stint on IR makes a lot of sense here. He went on to say the team will look inward first, meaning Heinicke and Allen will get the chances. It appears for now, bringing in Newton doesn't look to be on the table.

Washington QB Ryan Fitzpatrick suffered what is believed to be a hip subluxation against the Chargers Sunday.

Washington is hoping nothing is broken but it’s still a serious injury. We’ll find out more tomorrow. For now, Rapoport reports Washington will stay in-house before considering quarterbacks not currently on their roster. Taylor Heinicke finished 11/15 for 122 yards and a touchdown in Washington’s 20-16 loss. He’ll likely get the nod for Week 2 as Washington has a quick turnaround, playing on Thursday against the Giants. Kyle Allen is the third quarterback.

Washington QB Taylor Heinicke replaced Ryan Fitzpatrick after Fitzpatrick left Sunday’s game against the Chargers with a hip injury.

Fitzpatrick went 3/6 for 13 yards before leaving. Washington currently trails 13-9 at the half.

WFT WR Curtis Samuel will be placed on IR later today according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. Samuel has been battling a groin injury.

A brutal start to Samuel's time in the nation's capital. In the interim look for Dyami Brown, Cam Sims, and Adam Humphries to see increased snaps.

Washington Football Team wide receiver Curtis Samuel missed Thursday's practice session.

Samuel is looking more and more likely to miss Week 1. He will need to take the practice field tomorrow to have a chance to suit up Sunday. If he does not, expect him to be an early rule out. Samuel's absence should open up more targets for Terry McLaurin, Logan Thomas, and Antonio Gibson but will also lead to an expanded snap count for Dyami Brown, Adam Humphries, and Cam Sims. Samuel is expected to be a significant part of the offense when healthy but may have to wait until Week 2 to make his debut for Washington.
