Gilbert is expected to serve as Washington's No. 3 quarterback for the remainder of the season after the Football Team activated Taylor Heinicke (illness) and Kyle Allen (illness) from the reserve/COVID-19 list Thursday and Friday, respectively, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.
Since Washington signed Gilbert off the Patriots' practice squad last Friday shortly after Heinicke and Allen were placed on the list, Gilbert will at least retain a permanent spot on the 53-man roster, unless the Football Team elects to waive him at some point to add depth at another position. Despite having little time to get up to speed with his new team's playbook, Gilbert acquitted himself well by playing mistake-free football in his spot start Tuesday against the Eagles. He completed 20 of 31 attempts for 194 yards, no touchdowns and no interceptions in the Football Team's 27-17 loss.
