Washington activates Montez Sweat, Sam Cosmi off injured reserve

bHQBmsFGEN6W
The Washington Football Team will face an uphill battle with a short turnaround against a motivated and talented Cowboys team in Week 16 on Sunday Night Football.

The Washington Football Team activated defensive lineman Montez Sweat (jaw) and right tackle Sam Cosmi (hip) from injured reserve. Both will be available to play Tuesday.

Sweat went on injured reserve Nov. 13 after a non-displaced fracture of his jaw in a Week 8 game against the Broncos.

He was expected to return last week against Dallas but tested positive for COVID-19. Sweat, who is unvaccinated, spent 10 days on the list before being activated from it Saturday.

So he now is preparing to return Tuesday night.

Sweat has totaled four sacks, 12 quarterback hits and three tackles for loss this season.

Cosmi has started six games for Washington this season but missed time early in the season with an ankle injury.
