Back from COVID list Roberts (undisclosed) was activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list Monday.
Impact Roberts missed Week 17 against the Eagles after landing on the COVID-19 list, but he's back on the active roster ahead of the season finale. The 31-year-old has filled an every-down role in his past two games, and he could do so again Sunday against the Giants if William Jackson (calf) ends up missing his third straight contest.

Lands on COVID-19 list Roberts (undisclosed) was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday.
Impact Roberts lands on the list for the second time in December. His first stint lasted only three days, but it's unclear how long he will be sidelined this time around. Nonetheless, Roberts has played exclusively on special teams this season, so his potential absence shouldn't impact Washington's defensive game plan.

Lands on reserve/COVID-19 list Roberts (undisclosed) was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Saturday.
Impact Roberts was bothered by a quadriceps injury that cost him six games earlier in the season. He returned to a special teams role in Week 13, but he will now be forced out of Sunday's game against Dallas. Roberts has yet to play a defensive snap this season, so his absence won't affect Washington's defense.

Placed on IR Washington placed Roberts (quadriceps) on injured reserve Wednesday.
Impact Roberts suffered the injury against the Saints during Week 5. He will be sidelined for at least three weeks with the move to injured reserve, but he may miss more time. The 30-year-old corner played a limited role for Washington's defense this season, so his absence shouldn't affect the defensive rotations.

Signs deal with Washington Roberts signed a contract with the Washington Football Team on Friday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Impact Roberts played his most prominent role for the Jets in 2019, during which he posted 63 tackles (58 solo), one interception and six passes defended in 13 games. After spending the past season in Detroit, Roberts saw his role decrease for the team, recording 34 solo tackles. While the 30-year-old has served as a hybrid safety/corner in the past, it is unclear at the time how he'll be incorporated into Washington's defensive plans.

Totals 39 tackles Roberts recorded 39 tackles, six pass breakups and one interception over 11 games in 2020.
Impact After being an every-down player for the Jets in 2019, Roberts largely served as veteran depth for the Lions most of the year until injuries forced the 30-year-old into an expanded role down the stretch. The versatile safety/corner hybrid is now set to become an unrestricted free agent, and his chances of returning to Detroit probably hinge on who the team hires as defensive coordinator.

Questionable for Saturday Roberts (hip) is considered questionable for Saturday's game against the Buccaneers, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports.
Impact Roberts has been dealing with the hip injury much of the season and has sat out five of the team's past seven contests. However, he was able to practice in full Thursday following a pair of limited sessions to begin the week, giving him a good chance of suiting up Saturday. If he is able to take the field, Roberts should take on a starting role.
