Toohill (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Eagles, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.
Toohill suffered a concussion during the team's Week 2 loss to the Lions and will be sidelined for at least one game. Starting defensive end James Smith-Williams (abdomen) is questionable, so Washington may head into Sunday with just two healthy defensive ends -- Shaka Toney and Montez Sweat.

Football Team's Casey Toohill: Goes on COVID-19 list
Rotowire
Toohill was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list and won't be available Sunday for Washington's game against the Cowboys.
Washington hasn't revealed whether Toohill tested positive for the virus or was deemed a close contact of an infected person, but in any case, he'll be the fifth member of the Football Team this week to be ruled out after being placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list. Toohill's absence will further deplete Washington's depth at defensive end, as the Football Team will be without its top four options at the position. In addition to Toohill, James Smith-Williams and Montez Sweat (jaw, positive test) are on the reserve/COVID-19 list, while Chase Young (knee) is on season-ending injured reserve.

Eagles' Casey Toohill: Edge rusher lands in Philadelphia
Rotowire
The Eagles selected Toohill in the seventh round of the 2020 NFL Draft, 233rd overall.
The Eagles continue to prioritize speed above all else in the latter stages of the 2020 NFL Draft, this time selecting the Stanford edge rusher, who posted a 4.62 40-yard dash at the combine. A smart and toolsy player, Toohill struggled mightily at stopping the run in college, but adding more weight -- depending on his positional classification at the professional level -- could help him stick on an NFL roster.
