Garrett Gilbert: Moves back to practice squad
Garrett Gilbert reverted to the Patriots' practice squad Monday.Gilbert was activated for game day for the second week in a row Sunday, as starting quarterback Mac Jones was unable to return from a high ankle sprain suffered in Week 3. As a result, the 31-year-old Gilbert once again served as New England's backup quarterback behind Bailey Zappe with Brian Hoyer (concussion) out on IR. Gilbert is now eligible for one more elevation from New England's practice squad this season.

Patriots' Garrett Gilbert: Returns to roster for Week 6
The New England Patriots elevated Garrett Gilbert from the practice squad Saturday, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.New England's decision to move Gilbert up from the practice squad for the second week in a row implies that fellow quarterback Mac Jones (ankle) -- who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Browns -- is unlikely to play. Assuming Jones ends up on the inactive list Sunday, Gilbert will remain the Patriots' backup quarterback behind rookie fill-in starter Bailey Zappe.

Garrett Gilbert: Returns to practice squad
Garrett Gilbert reverted to the Patriots' practice squad Monday.Gilbert signed with New England's practice squad last Tuesday and served as the team's emergency backup for Bailey Zappe after being activated ahead of Sunday's win over Detroit. However, the 31-year-old signal-caller's services were never required as the Patriots' offense rolled over the Lions in this 29-0 win. Gilbert could see similar usage over the next two weeks if starting quarterback Mac Jones (ankle) and usual backup Brian Hoyer (concussion) remain sidelined due to injury.

Football Team's Garrett Gilbert: Moves to third on depth chart
Garrett Gilbert is expected to serve as Washington's No. 3 quarterback for the remainder of the season after the Washington 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.

Football Team's Garrett Gilbert: Serviceable in spot start
Garrett Gilbert completed 20 of 31 passes for 194 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions in Washington's 27-17 loss to the Eagles on Tuesday night. He also committed a fumble that was recovered by the offense.The journeyman certainly held his own in the emergency start, but he wasn't able to make enough impact plays to overcome some stellar individual performances by multiple Eagles. Gilbert also unsurprisingly relied heavily on dump-off passes to Antonio Gibson and Ricky Seals-Jones, who accounted for half his 20 completions 14 of his 31 pass attempts. Gilbert could have a good chance of at least serving as the No. 2 quarterback for the Week 16 road matchup against the Cowboys on Sunday night, considering one of Taylor Heinicke or Kyle Allen may still be in COVID-19 protocols for that contest.

Football Team's Garrett Gilbert: Set to start Tuesday
Garrett Gilbert will start for Washington in Tuesday's game against Philadelphia after neither Taylor Heinicke (illness) nor Kyle Allen (illness) was activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.Just four days after Washington signed him off New England's practice squad, the 30-year-old Gilbert will pick up his second career NFL start. His first came last season as a member of the Cowboys, with Gilbert completing 21 of 38 attempts for 243 yards, one touchdown and one interception to go with three carries for 28 yards in a 24-19 loss to the Steelers. So long as Washington is able to stay competitive with Philadelphia, expect head coach Ron Rivera to favor a run-heavy game plan headlined by Antonio Gibson, thereby allowing Gilbert to serve as more of a game manager. The Washington Football Team should get at least one of Heinicke or Allen back from the list before its Week 16 game against Dallas, so Gilbert could move into the No. 2 role or off the 53-man roster entirely regardless of how he fares Tuesday.
