Football Team's Wendell Smallwood: Possible bump in playing time

Smallwood was elevated to Washington's active roster Saturday.

Antonio Gibson was not activated off the reserve/COVID-19 list, meaning Jaret Patterson, Jonathan Williams and Wendell Smallwood will form an unheralded backfield-by-committee for Washington. Smallwood has been active for just two games this season and has primarily been used on special teams, but considering the lack of healthy alternatives for Washington, expect to see the former Eagles back to get some playing time against the team that drafted him back in 2016.
