Williams is coming off his best season as a pro and keeps are strong 1-2 receiver duo for Justin Herbert.

According to Staley, wide receiver Mike Williams, safety Nasir Adderley and cornerback Chris Harris Jr. will miss the pivotal game due to being on the reserve/COVID-19 list, per Fernando Ramirez of SI.

Williams was added to the list on Christmas, and due to the 10-day quarantine rule for unvaccinated players, he will miss Sunday. The NFL recently updated their protocols so that vaccinated players could "test out" of protocols more quickly. Since Adderley and Harris have already been ruled out, it would appear they are unvaccinated as well, according to the story. It's possible Guyton could test out and return. Moore caught three passes for 56 yards in Week 16.

Ron Rivera said Taylor Heinicke will start vs. Philly on Sunday, but "we'll see" beyond that.

"Will we play Kyle [Allen]? Probably. But we're going to stick with Taylor for now," said Rivera in the tweet. Rivera went on to say via the tweet, it's not "an indictment" on Heinicke, but more about wanting to see Allen play. Either way, it's not good news for Heinicke because there isn't a lot Allen is going to offer at this point.

Washington quarterback Taylor Heinicke has been activated from the reserve/COVID list.

Heinicke is set to be back under center for Week 16 after missing last week's contest against the Philadelphia Eagles. He is not much of a fantasy option outside of superflex leagues, but his return provides a boost for the team's healthy skill players. Heinicke is currently our 28th ranked quarterback for Week 16.
