The Washington Football Team has suffered from a significant COVID-19 outbreak over the past week, as a total of 27 players and seven assistant coaches have been added to the reserve/COVID-19 list since Dec. 8.

Under the NFL’s current protocols, vaccinated players that test positive for the virus must return two negative tests (they can be on the same day) in order to return (or miss 10 days). Unvaccinated players are required to miss a minimum of 10 days before returning, among other factors.

Thirteen players remain in protocols after three more were removed on Tuesday: defensive tackle Tim Settle, cornerback Troy Apke and tight end Sammis Reyes. 

“I don’t think anybody expected it to be like this,” Washington head coach Ron Rivera said on Dec. 15. “This is a little bit more beyond what we had anticipated. I think that the thought might be that guys that hadn’t gotten vaccinated might have come down with it at some point or another, not that it would be a crossover because for the most part, most of our guys are guys that were vaccinated.”

Here is a list of every player the Washington Football Team has placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list since Dec. 8:
