SCOREBOARD

week. Huntley ran the Baltimore of- fense pretty well last weekend, throwing for two touchdowns and running for two. If Jackson and Huntley can’t play, the Ravens may need to turn to veteran Josh Johnson, who signed with Balti- more before last week’s game. l BEARS: Chicago will start third-string quarterback Nick Foles on Sunday against the Seat- tle Seahawks. Starter Justin Fields suffered an ankle injury Monday night against Minnesota and missed practice Thursday and Friday. Chicago’s other quarterback, Andy Dalton, has been out with a groin injury that happened just before he went on the covid-19

reserve list last week. Foles started seven games last year for the Bears but hasn’t played since Week 10 of last season. l JETS: Robert Saleh is holed up in a hotel room with the coronavirus, away from his family and football team. New York’s coach says he’s feeling “good” but has come to grips with the realization he might miss Sunday’s game against the Jack- sonville Jaguars. If Saleh isn’t cleared, tight ends coach Ron Middleton will handle the head coaching duties in a matchup of rookie quarterbacks who were the first two picks in the draft: Trevor Lawrence and New York’s Zach Wilson.

Baker Mayfield moved a step
closer to playing against Aaron
Rodgers on Christmas as the
Browns activated their quarter-
back from the covid-19 reserve list
Friday before leaving for Green
Bay.
Mayfield has been out since he
tested positive Dec. 15, one of a
slew of virus cases the past two
weeks for the Browns. He missed
Monday’s game against Las Vegas
as Cleveland started third-string

quarterback Nick Mullens, nu- merous backups and lost. Mayfield hasn’t practiced in nearly two weeks, but Coach Kev- in Stefanski, who returned this week after his second positive test in two seasons, said Thursday he anticipated Mayfield starting against the Packers (11-3) as the Browns (7-7) try to bolster their flimsy playoff chances. The virus continued to wreak havoc across the league, forcing teams to make adjustments in the season’s final weeks.

Indianapolis all-pro guard Quenton Nelson and Jacksonville pass rusher Josh Allen were the most notable new names to go on the covid-19 reserve lists that seem to change by the minute. Losing Nelson is a major blow to the Colts, who are hoping to stay in the AFC South race and play at Arizona on Saturday. Mayfield won’t be cleared until Saturday, when his 10-day quar- antine expires. He won’t have to produce a negative coronavirus test, something he hasn’t done

despite being asymptomatic and feeling fine. l RAVENS: Tyler Huntley missed practice Friday with an illness, adding even more uncer- tainty to the team’s quarterback situation heading into this weekend’s showdown at Cincinnati. Huntley is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game, which pits the AFC North co-leaders. Lamar Jackson, who missed last weekend’s loss to Green Bay with a sprained ankle, is also questionable after missing practice this

NFL NOTES

Browns activate Mayfield; Colts lose all-pro Nelson

BY SAM FORTIER

In a sign the worst of the Wash-
ington Football Team’s coronavi-
rus outbreak may be behind it, the
team activated starting corner-
back Kendall Fuller, starting safe-
ty Kamren Curl, backup quarter-
back Kyle Allen and backup line-
backer Milo Eifler from the covid-
19 reserve list Friday while placing
defensive end Nate Orchard on it.
In a blow to the defense, the
team also placed safety/lineback-
er Landon Collins (foot) and re-
serve defensive lineman Daniel
Wise (knee) on injured reserve,
meaning their regular seasons are
over.
Washington also placed reserve
safety, special-teamer and team
captain Deshazor Everett on the
non-football injury list after he
was hospitalized Thursday night
following a car crash, according to
the Loudoun County Sheriff ’s De-
partment.
Washington’s covid list, once at
26 players, is down to six — though
two of the players who remain on
it, right guard Brandon Scherff
and linebacker Cole Holcomb, are
starters.
The team also announced five
coaches would miss the game at
Dallas on Sunday night because of
covid protocols. Four of them —
Chris Harris (defensive backs),
Brent Vieselmeyer (assistant de-
fensive backs/nickel), Vincent Ri-
vera (defensive quality control)
and Cristian Garcia (defensive
coaching intern) — missed the loss
at Philadelphia on Tuesday, while
Jim Hostler (senior offensive as-
sistant) was a new addition.
On defense, Fuller and Curl re-
turning is important because
Washington, which is on a two-
game skid, ruled out top corner-
back William Jackson III (calf )
and Collins (foot). Coach Ron Ri-
vera said Jackson “could be out a
little bit longer” than just Sunday
night’s game.
Washington also listed running
back Antonio Gibson (toe) and
wide receiver Curtis Samuel (ham-
string) as questionable. Rivera
said even though Gibson’s injury is
similar to the turf toe that forced
him to miss two games last year,
the running back seems better
prepared to handle it this year.
“He says that it doesn’t feel like
it did last year,” Rivera said.
In Jackson’s absence, Fuller
probably will step into the top
cornerback role, which he held
last year, though for a zone-heavy
defense such as Washington’s, it
probably won’t mean shadowing
the opponent’s top wide receiver.
The wide corner opposite him

probably will be Darryl Roberts, a veteran who hadn’t played a defensive snap this season until he took all 71 in Tuesday’s loss to Philadelphia. The nickel corner probably will be Danny Johnson, and Corn Elder probably will be the team’s top reserve. “We like what we got from Dar- ryl Roberts last week,” Rivera said. “We feel that we’re in a good spot now that we got Kendall Fuller back as well in our secondary.” Fuller said he felt weak and “achy” during his stint on the covid list and that it was frustrat- ing to watch the loss in Philadel- phia from home on his couch. He texted with Curl during the game and was excited to return to practice Friday. He said he wasn’t wor- ried that the time off would affect his stamina. “You got to play a full game,” he said. “It’s end of the season. We got to win.” Curl, a versatile safety, could replace Collins. In Week 13 at Las Vegas, the only game Collins has missed this season, Washington opted not to move Curl and in- stead use two players to fill Col- lins’s hybrid role, known as the “Buffalo nickel.” But neither of those players, linebacker Khaleke Hudson or Everett, the hospitalized safety, will be available Sun- day. Hudson is on injured reserve with an ankle injury. Before the team changed Col- lins’s role this season, Curl regu- larly played Buffalo nickel. Even when Collins, Curl and free safety Bobby McCain are on the field together now, the trio can disguise coverages and switch into one another’s positions, so it would be a natural transition for Curl — espe- cially because the safeties behind him, Jeremy Reaves and Darrick Forrest, haven’t shown the same position flexibility. Allen’s return, one day after starter Taylor Heinicke came off the covid list, means Washington probably will carry three quarterbacks for at least the next two games. If a team signs a player off another team’s practice squad, as Washington did with Garrett Gil- bert, it must keep him on the roster for three weeks. After practice Friday, Rivera said he thought Heinicke “looked fresh” and had only one regretta- ble pass. “I thought he looked good and crisp in practice,” Rivera said. “I thought Kyle looked good in practice as well. Getting those guys back and getting it back out there, I think, brought a little energy to both sides of the ball.” [email protected]

Fuller and Curl are back,

but Collins is put on IR

“My thoughts and prayers go out to the family of the young lady, and all thought to Deshazor and his family as well. It’s a very difficult situation. We’ll just let things go on and let the police and the investigation go through and find out what happened.” Everett, 29, is in his seventh season after going undrafted out of Texas A&M in 2015. After spending training camp with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers that year, he signed with Washington and has developed into a core special teams player and key reserve at safety. In 89 career games (17 starts), he has totaled 154 tackles, two interceptions and two forced fumbles. This season, he has played 14 games. [email protected]

involving Deshazor Everett,” the
team’s statement read. “A passen-
ger in his vehicle lost their life
and we extend our deepest sym-
pathies to the family and friends
who lost a loved one. Deshazor is
currently in the hospital with
serious but non-life-threatening
injuries. Our thoughts and
prayers are with everyone who
has been affected by the tragedy.”
Everett was placed on Wash-
ington’s non-football injury list
Friday. The team is not obligated
to pay his remaining salary for
the season.
“The only thing I want to say is
I was very saddened to hear the
news,” Coach Ron Rivera told
reporters via video conference
Friday after the team’s practice.
