Heinicke (illness) wasn't activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list and won't be available for Tuesday's game against the Eagles, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Neither Heinicke nor No. 2 signal-caller Kyle Allen (illness) was able to clear the NFL's COVID-19 protocols after both tested positive for the virus less than a week ago, so for at least one game, Washington will turn the offense over to Garrett Gilbert, who was signed off the Patriots' practice squad Friday. The Football Team will hope to get one of Heinicke or Gilbert back in advance of its Week 16 game against the Cowboys on Sunday.
