Washington's Thomas done for season with knee injury

The Washington Football Team placed tight end Logan Thomas on injured reserve due to a knee injury, ending his season, the club announced Wednesday.

The move will rule out Thomas for the remainder of the 2021 campaign because it will be his second stint on IR this year.

Washington reportedly feared the tight end tore his ACL and MCL following Sunday's win over the Las Vegas Raiders. However, head coach Ron Rivera said Monday that tests indicated Thomas avoided an ACL tear but still suffered knee damage.

Thomas' 2021 has been injury-riddled, with him also missing time earlier this year due to a hamstring ailment. He will end the season with 18 catches for 196 yards and three touchdowns in six games.

Washington also placed pass-rusher Montez Sweat on the COVID-19 list Wednesday after he tested positive, and he'll be out the next 10 days because he's unvaccinated, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports. Sweat hasn't played since Week 8 due to a fractured jaw.
