Shifts to COVID list Washington placed Sweat (jaw) on the reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday after he tested positive for the virus.

Impact Sweat was placed on injured reserve Nov. 13 with a fractured jaw, an injury that was projected to sideline him for 4-to-6 weeks. Per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, Washington had some hope that Sweat would be ready to resume practicing this week and potentially return from IR ahead of Sunday's contest against the Cowboys, but his positive test rules out that possibility. As Rapoport notes, Sweat is unvaccinated, which puts him on track for an automatic 10-day quarantine regardless if he's experiencing symptoms. If he's asymptomatic at the end of the 10-day period, Sweat would be eligible to rejoin the team Dec. 18, one day before Washington's Week 15 matchup with the Eagles. Assuming his jaw has fully healed by that point, Sweat could suit up against the Eagles, though his lack of practice reps for the past month and a half may result in him taking on a limited snap count if he plays in that game.

Lands on IR Washington has placed Sweat (jaw) on injured reserve, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.

Impact Sweat is expected to be sidelined four-to-six weeks with a fractured jaw, so his trip to the IR is unsurprising. Defensive end Olubunmi Rotimi was called up from the practice squad in a corresponding move, but some combination of James Smith-Williams and Shaka Toney will likely see the increased snaps in Sweat's absence.

Out for 4-6 weeks Sweat (jaw) is expected to miss four-to-six weeks, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.

Impact The 25-year-old pass rusher suffered a fractured jaw during Washington's Week 8 loss to the Broncos. Prior to that, Sweat played at least 65 percent of defensive snaps in each game this season, recording 19 tackles, 12 QB hits and four sacks in eight appearances. While Washington's defense has obviously taken a big step back compared to last year, Sweat's pass-rushing production looks pretty similar to 2020 (9.0 sacks, 20 QB hits). His absence for the next month-plus could allow James Smith-Williams to make his first career start, but there's also the option of giving DT Jonathan Allen some snaps at end.

Set to miss a couple weeks Sweat suffered a jaw fracture during Washington's Week 8 loss and is expected to miss at least the next couple of weeks, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.

Impact Sweat suffered a nondisplaced fracture during Washington's loss to Denver but he is not going to need surgery. The defensive end is supposed to avoid physical contact for the next four weeks, meaning that Casey Toohill and Shaka Toney will be forced into larger roles on Washington's defensive line. Sweat could be looking at a return in early December when the Football Team takes on the Raiders in Week 13.
