Football Team's Darryl Roberts: Lands on reserve/COVID-19 list
Rotowire
Roberts (undisclosed) was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Saturday.
Roberts was bothered by a quadriceps injury that cost him six games earlier in the season. He returned to a special teams role in Week 13, but he will now be forced out of Sunday's game against Dallas. Roberts has yet to play a defensive snap this season, so his absence won't affect Washington's defense.

Rotowire
Roberts was activated from injured reserve Thursday.
The 31-year-old has been inactive since Week 5, but his return is a welcomed one as fellow cornerback Benjamin St-Juste (concussion) went on IR Thursday. Roberts had only played in two contests prior to his quad injury while failing to log a defensive snap.

Football Team's Darryl Roberts: Placed on IR
Rotowire
Washington placed Roberts (quadriceps) on injured reserve Wednesday.
Roberts suffered the injury against the Saints during Week 5. He will be sidelined for at least three weeks with the move to injured reserve, but he may miss more time. The 30-year-old corner played a limited role for Washington's defense this season, so his absence shouldn't affect the defensive rotations.

Football Team's Darryl Roberts: Signs deal with Washington
Rotowire
Roberts signed a contract with the Washington Football Team on Friday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Roberts played the most prominent role of his NFL career for the Jets in 2019, a season in which he posted 63 tackles (58 solo), one interception and six defensed passes in 13 games. Roberts saw a reduced role while with the Lions in 2020, recording 34 solo tackles. While the 30-year-old has served as a hybrid safety/corner in the past, it's presently unclear how he'll be incorporated into Washington's defensive plans.

Lions' Darryl Roberts: Unavailable against Titans
Rotowire
Roberts (hip) has been ruled out for Sunday's game versus the Titans.
Roberts missed practice all week and will predictably be sidelined for Sunday's matchup. With Jeff Okudah (groin) and Desmond Trufant (hamstring) already on IR, the Lions will lean on cornerbacks Justin Coleman, Amani Oruwariye and Mike Ford to slow down the Titans' passing game.

Roberts (groin/hip) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Colts, Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press reports
Roberts wasn't listed on the injury report to begin the week, but he's now logged back-to-back limited practices. If he's able to suit up against the Colts, the size of his role will likely depend on whether Desmond Trufant (hamstring) is available for the Lions.

Lions' Darryl Roberts: Doesn't take full reps Thursday
Rotowire
Roberts (groin/hip) was held to limited participation during the Lions' practice session Thursday.
Roberts had been labeled as questionable with a hip injury heading into Detroit's Week 4 matchup against the Saints, but he ultimately logged his first start of the season during that contest while fielding 32 defensive snaps. The issue has seemingly been stubborn in nature, as Roberts is still battling with it after nearly a month. Nevertheless, the Marshall product has been active for every game this season, collecting 20 tackles, three pass deflections and an interception through six appearances.

Lions' Darryl Roberts: Ready to rock Sunday
Rotowire
Roberts (hip) is active for Sunday's game versus the Saints.
Roberts' role could take a hit with Desmond Trufant (hamstring) returning to the lineup, especially considering Roberts has allowed a 125.4 passer rating and two touchdowns when targeted this year. If he does indeed lose reps, it'll be because rookie first-rounder Jeff Okudah stepped up in the No. 3 CB role.

Rotowire
Roberts (hip) was added to the Lions' injury report Thursday, Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press reports.

Roberts started 10 games in 2019 and had a career-high 63 tackles (58 solo), but the team opted to cut him with no guaranteed money remaining on his deal. The 29-year-old spent the first four seasons of his career with the Jets but appears headed elsewhere in 2020.

Jets' Darryl Roberts: Likely to start versus Titans
Rotowire
Roberts is expected to start at free safety in place of Marcus Maye (shoulder) in Sunday's game versus the Titans, Brian Costello of the New York Post reports.
Roberts has spent plenty of time in a starting role this season, and he averages 6.2 tackles in games where he logs more than 60 defensive snaps. His chances to make plays against the pass are reduced with a matchup against the Titans, who rank last in the league with 27.5 passing attempts per game.
